Public bug reported:

Both openstack.common and openstack.nose_plugin declare the 'openstack'
namespace. When one package is installed it breaks pythons search path
of ./ for modules.  This breaks update.py for example which is meant to
be run out of the os-common checkout directory. It imports cfg from
openstack.common, but since it is not installed it cannot be found:


site-packages$ ls openstack*
openstack.nose_plugin-0.5-py2.7-nspkg.pth

openstack:
nose_plugin.py  nose_plugin.pyc

openstack.nose_plugin-0.5-py2.7.egg-info:
dependency_links.txt  installed-files.txt     PKG-INFO      SOURCES.txt
entry_points.txt      namespace_packages.txt  requires.txt  top_level.txt

common$ python update.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "update.py", line 64, in <module>
    from openstack.common import cfg
ImportError: No module named common

Since update.py is a "temporary" workaround for incubation we *could*
hack it to inject ./openstack/common into the openstack namespace, but
there might be a better way. Need to research.
