So who's going to draft the ???Filesystem Hierarchy Standard compliance???
PEP? :-)

This has nothing to do with the FHS.  The FHS talks about data, not code.

Really?  It has some guidelines here for object files, etc., at least as

A quick scan suggests /usr/lib is the right place to look:

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLIBLIBRARIESFORPROGRAMMINGANDPA

agreed for object files, but
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREARCHITECTUREINDEPENDENTDATA
explicitely states "The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent *data* files".
