I supposed the problem is that dumpscript is just too dumb. It has this code, after it checks for known field types: https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions/blob/0e5747586332333f572bcfbf674b712e11aa69dd/django_extensions/management/commands/dumpscript.py#L705C13-L707 ```python # A normal field (e.g. a...

> @ericvsmith Can you help with this one? We have a [description of the requirements](https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/1888#issue-153265584) and are in need of a [better definition of the format requirements](https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/1888#issue-153265584) and detailed description...

Are you saying that the Python-only version shows the problem? If so, could you simplify your example to remove the C version? And then simplify the Python-only version down to...

If a zip file contains "pkg/foo.py" but no "pkg/" entry, it will not be possible for "pkg" to be a namespace package portion.
