Hello,

today I found out that it is possible to create a Python "Distribution 
Package" [1] (e.g. a whl-file) that contain more then one "Importable 
Packages" [2].

So you can do "pip3 install mydistropackage" and after that you can do 
"import mya" and "import myb".

Are you aware of any packages in Debian that are related to upstream 
projects using that "technic"?

And if so how do you (as debian distro maintainers) handle that? Do you 
create one deb-file for "mydistropackage" (e.g. 
"python3-mydistropackage.deb") or do you separate into "python3-mya.deb" 
and "python3-myb.deb"?

Kind
