[issue29258] __init__.py required for pkgutil.walk_packages in python3

This is almost wrong.  PEP 420 added a new way for "namespace pacakge."
PEP 420 doesn't make empty __init__.py file in regular package.

(See https://dev.to/methane/don-t-omit-init-py-3hga)

Then, should pkgutil.walk_packages walk into all directories (e.g.  node_modules) ?  I don't think so.
