Setuptools: find_packages_ns not present in 40.0.0, but added to documentation

[GoelJatin]

Hi,

I see that the method find_pacakges_ns has been added to the documentation for the latest version.

find_packages_ns

But the code is not included in the 40.0.0 release, although it is part of the master branch.

>>> import setuptools
>>>
>>> setuptools.__version__
'40.0.0'
>>>
>>>
>>> setuptools.find_packages_ns()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'setuptools' has no attribute 'find_packages_ns'
>>>

__init__.py - 40.0.0

__init__.py - master

find_packages_ns - Line: 121

Support for find_packages_ns is the latest commit on this branch 19 days ago.

And 40.0.0 was released 14 days ago.

Seems like this commit was missed to be included in the release.

I think the commits were added to a branch before the release and merged into master after it.

We are investigating changing the name, so it's not really prudent to make a new release until those changes are merged.

Let me know if I could help with anything.

How can I use find_packages_ns in my code?

[pganssle]

Sorry, I'll wrap up the PRs related to this this week and make a new release.

Temporary workaround:

from setuptools import setup, PEP420PackageFinder
PEP420PackageFinder().find(include=['foo.*'])

I found this in setuptools code:
find_packages_ns = PEP420PackageFinder.find

With the release of 40.1.0, find_namespace_packages is now available. Sorry for the delay y'all.
