PEP 451 talks about this a little
(https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0451/#namespace-packages):

"""
Currently a path entry finder may return (None, portions) from
find_loader() to indicate it found part
of a possible namespace package. To achieve the same effect,
find_spec() must return a spec with
"loader" set to None (a.k.a. not set) and with
submodule_search_locations set to the same portions
as would have been provided by find_loader(). It's up to PathFinder
how to handle such specs.
