I'd like to see a more complete proposal, including: - what to do with Windows, Mac OS X

PEP 370 already specifies a directory for Python config files:

user data directory

Usually the parent directory of the user site directory. It's meant for Python version specific data like config files, docs, > images and translations. Unix (including Mac) ~/.local/lib/python2.6 Windows %APPDATA%/Python/Python26
