Really, python should store the .py files in /usr/share/python/, the .so files in /usr/lib/x8664- linux-gnu/python2.5-debug/, and the .pyc files in /var/lib/python2.5- debug. But python doesn't work like that. +1 So who's going to draft the ???Filesystem Hierarchy Standard compliance??? PEP? :-) This has nothing to do with the FHS. The FHS talks about data, not code. Really? It has some guidelines here for object files, etc., at least as of 2004. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html A quick scan suggests /usr/lib is the right place to look: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLIBLIBRARIESFORPROGRAMMINGANDPA
agreed for object files, but http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREARCHITECTUREINDEPENDENTDATA explicitely states "The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent data files".
