To me, the semantic difference is that "namespace packages" are what is used when you have "foo.bar" and "foo.baz" come from different distributions (https://packaging.python.org/guides/packaging-namespace-packages/). They get mentioned in "setup(packages=[...])" in distribution package's setup.py.
