Suppose a distro packages our stuff and it gets installed on a system.  Python 
executables go into /usr/bin/ and libraries go into 
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ntp/

So far so good.

Now what happens if a developer does a site install.  (Is that the right term?)

Libraries get installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ntp/ and a 
.pth file gets setup to access them.  The new libraries will get used by the 
system-installed executables.

Should we be using "ntp-1.0" rather than "ntp"?

---------

There is another possibility.  We could patch the executables at install time 
to fixup sys.path to look where we install the libraries.
