fix(pypi): namespace_pkgs should pass correct arguments (#3026) It seems that the only function that did not have unit tests have bugs and the integration tests did not catch it because we weren't creating namespacepkg `__init__.py` files. This change fixes the bug, adds a unit test for the remaining untested function. Fixes #3023 Co-authored-by: Richard Levasseur <richardlev@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 49780276797ecdb22afeda0b8c72a680a3c0b41a)
