With traits and traits.ui, you have to fix the pth file for all three
namespace packages.  Most of the others only have one namespace package
(enthought).

BTW, there is now a totally crazy error I get when trying to do bdist_rpm
on kiva.  If I do "python setup.py build", it works properly.  If I do
"python setup.py bdist_rpm" it gives a traceback on the build step that
uses (or can be made to use) the same command that worked when run alone,
but now complains that it can't fine agg_wrap.c, which doesn't exist (the
file is agg_wrap.cpp).
