The location will be somewhere under ~/.local for Unix/Linux/OS X, Can I just put in a plea for this to be somewhere under ~/Library on OSX, and not hidden? MacOSX already has clear conventions for this sort of thing -- there's no need to use a dot-name there.

~/Library is only used by framework builds of Python so far. Framework builds include ~/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages and ~/.local/.. and non-framework builds just the ~/.local directory.

Can you come up with a path that fits the purpose of a base directory?
