If we want to go that route, I think restructuring the
"git_remote_helpers" directory and re-using its infrastructure for
installing the "Git Python modules" would be the way to go. The
directory structure would become something like this:
git/
`-- python/
|-- Makefile # existing file pulled out of git_remote_helpers
|-- < some new utility library >
|-- git_remote_helpers
| |-- __init__.py
| |-- git
| | |-- __init__.py
| | |-- exporter.py
| | |-- git.py
| | |-- importer.py
| | |-- non_local.py
| | `-- repo.py
| `-- util.py
|-- setup.cfg # existing file pulled out of git_remote_helpers
`-- setup.py # existing file pulled out of git_remote_helpers
It looks like the GitPython project[1] as already taken the "git" module
name, so perhaps we should use "git_core" if we do introduce a new
module.
