Oh, so that's normal.

I thought because the inner folder with the __init__.py was that deep that
it wasn't found on the search path, and indeed it was not as when I tried
to run the code posted above, it crashed for not finding some fonttools
stuff.  When I moved the subdirectly to a higher level, it worked.

I didn't think to look at site-packages for a FontTools.pth.  I should do
some more analysis and get back to ya.
