[New-bugs-announce] [issue29642] Why does unittest.TestLoader.discover still rely on existence of __init__.py files?

[Andrei Fokau]

New submission from Andrei Fokau:

Hi, As far as I see, unittest.TestLoader doesn't search in PEP-420 packages, i.e. packages without __init__.py files.

Is there some motivation behind this, or the loader was just not yet adapted for Implicit Namespace Packages?
