Dear Baruch, Thank you very much for your feedback and I'm sorry if I caused "sour" feelings using a word "hijacked" :-)

Well - that is actually why I've moved it to /usr/share from upstream /usr/lib http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-programs.html If the private modules would pollute the name space in sys.path, the modules should be installed in /usr/lib/package (for architecture any) or /usr/share/package (for architecture all). In this case, the directory should be added to sys.path at the program startup. and I have chosen architecture "all" because package itself is architecture independent and doesn't have to be rebuilt for each architecture. Indeed .pyc files are platform independent http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2003/11/msg00037.html and a few python driven packages actually follow my route and install under share. And I don't see any package besides python itself which installs python libraries under /usr/lib sonyboy[0] /usr/share>mls */*.pyc 12 fail2ban/fail2ban.pyc 4 reportbug/checkbuildd.pyc 8 reportbug/urlutils.pyc 4 fail2ban/version.pyc 12 reportbug/checkversions.pyc 4 wajig/bash_completion.pyc 8 ooo2dbk/ole2img.pyc 28 reportbug/debianbts.pyc 16 wajig/changes.pyc 4 pybliographer/pybcheck.pyc 4 reportbug/hiermatch.pyc 36 wajig/commands.pyc 4 pybliographer/pybcompact.pyc 4 reportbug/rbtempfile.pyc 4 wajig/const.pyc 4 pybliographer/pybconvert.pyc 4 reportbug/reportbug_exceptions.pyc 52 wajig/documentation.pyc 8 pybliographer/pybformat.pyc 36 reportbug/reportbug.pyc 12 wajig/gjig.pyc 4 pybliographer/pybliographic.pyc 16 reportbug/reportbug_submit.pyc 12 wajig/glutil.pyc 4 pybliographer/pybrc.pyc 12 reportbug/reportbug_ui_gnome.pyc 4 wajig/perform.pyc 4 pybliographer/pybtex.pyc 12 reportbug/reportbug_ui_newt.pyc 28 wajig/wajig.pyc 8 pybliographer/pybtext.pyc 28 reportbug/reportbug_ui_text.pyc Am I missing something?
