I like this, except one issue: I really don't like the .local directory. I don't see any compelling reason why this needs to be ~/.local/lib/ -- IMO it should just be ~/lib/. There's no need to hide it from view, especially since the user is expected to manage this explicitly.

The directory name has been commented on by glyph in great length (again). Thanks glyph! I'm all on his side. The base directory for Python related files should be a dot directory in the root directory of the users home dir. I slightly prefer ~/.local/ over other suggestions but I'm also open to ~/.python.d/

Should I wait with the commit until we have agreed on a directory name or do you want me to commit the code now?

I might look at this later; but it seems to me to be a pure optimization and thus not required to be in before the first beta.

Correct, it's an optimization to enhance the memory utilization.
