build 69 (20081017) The result of the created python package is a flat file that opens in the editor.
Python packages by default have create a folder and __init__.py file. The file is a requirement to be able to call it a python package.
The issue was filed because there's no package created, only a flat file with the name of the specified package, not about the __init__.py since it's not even there. In build 80 (20081020), the package is now created with __init__.py file in the package.
