While I'm not particularly familiar with Linux filesystems and FHS, I believe the key piece of the puzzle is in the stdlib, the sysconfig module. The "PyPI files/directories" as you call them (actually, the Python standard locations) are not specific directories, but rather are given by logical "paths" - platlib, scripts, data, and so on. Mapping these to OS-dependent locations can be handled by the OS installer code (RPM, I guess, in the case of Red Hat and similar). Properly written Python packages will only use those standard names. I hope that helps.
