If it's the case that this is possible, I'd say "best naming scheme" 
would be:
twisted.core.*coremodules
twisted.product
twisted.otherproduct.

However, given that twisted.core isn't going to exist, I'd be almost as 
happy with:
twisted.*coremodules
tmlabs.product
tmlabs.otherproduct

So consider that last my vote.
