I must admit I quite like the __pyr__ directory approach as well. Since
the interpreter knows the suffix it is looking for, names shouldn't
conflict. Using a single directory allows the name to be less cryptic,
too (e.g. __pycache__).
Please spell it out. Possible future doc. "When CPython executes or
imports a .py file with Python source code, it caches internal compiled
versions in a '__pycache__' subdirectory for possible future use."
