OK.  I'm certainly in favour of avoiding complexity.  However, I
thought I was following the python policy [1] where B.1 says:

    When using python-support, you should install your modules to
    /usr/share/python-support/package rather than the standard Python
    directories.

Where should I be installing the .py files?
Where should I be installing associated .so files?


Thanks,
