Mypy does not recognize pkg_resources-style namespace packages

Bug Report

Mypy is not able to understand pkg_resources-style namespace packages. Although, this is not the recommended namespace mechanism, it is still supported in Python for legacy compatibility. Especially as the documentation does not recommend to mix this method with PEP420 namespace.

To Reproduce

A project with such structure:

./root/
    __init__.py # Namespace
    core/
        action.py
        __init__.py
./extensions/
    root/
        __init__.py  # Namespace
        extra/
            __init__.py
            extra_action.py

where inside __init__.py as namespace, you have:

__import__("pkg_resources").declare_namespace(__name__)

Expected Behavior

$> mypy .             
Success: no issues found in 6 source files

Actual Behavior

$> mypy .             
root/__init__.py: error: Duplicate module named "root" (also at "./extensions/root/__init__.py")
root/__init__.py: note: See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/running_mypy.html#mapping-file-paths-to-modules for more info
root/__init__.py: note: Common resolutions include: a) using `--exclude` to avoid checking one of them, b) adding `__init__.py` somewhere, c) using `--explicit-package-bases` or adjusting MYPYPATH
Found 1 error in 1 file (errors prevented further checking)

Note: If all the __init__.py as namespace are removed such that it falls back to PEP420 namespace then mypy is happy:

$> mypy .             
Success: no issues found in 4 source files

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: 990
• Mypy command-line flags: mypy .
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files): None
• Python version used: 3.9.1

Inizia eseguendo mypy . sui directory root ed extensions riprodotti, concentrandoti sui due file namespace __init__.py che chiamano pkg_resources.declare_namespace. Traccia la mappatura dei percorsi dei moduli di mypy per questi file e aggiungi la copertura per il layout segnalato; il lavoro è completato quando il comando non segnala più un modulo root duplicato.
