Something else that occurs to me; the name of the directory (under folder-per-folder approach) probably ought to be the same as the name of the module attribute. There's probably no good reason to make it different, and making it the same makes the association stronger. That still gives us plenty of opportunity to bikeshed, but __pycache__ seems reasonable to me (it's the cache of parsing and compiling the .py file). -Barry
