see #134762 and http://python.org/sf/588756. Anybody to write the PEP and define the import rules? - which order do have arch dependent and arch-independent directories? concatenated, intertwined? - how should packages install their files, when providing shared modules and .py files? how to do this in a compatible way? I think, such a change should be submitted upstream first. Maybe it's still some time to include this in 2.3. But I hesitate to apply such a patch for Debian on it's own. Matthias
