Well, having a package in two different forms ist very non-standard, too=
. 
Actually, distutils and Python in general do not really support division=
s 
below the top-level namespace.

The non-standardness of having a setup.py that checks some option (--aop=
-
only) can be restricted to the developer side (especially if you do a 
"sdist" and that source package remembers it's aop-only).

Or viewed from the other side, if we really have two separate cvs module=
s, 
we have to have separate python packages, too. 

Everything else, besides those two options, leads into evilness.
