For the directory-as-module-not-package idea ... you would need to be very careful with it, since all the files would be sharing a common globals() namespace. One of the things I like about Python's module system is that once I know which module a name was imported from, I also know which file to look in for its definition. If a module can be spread over several files, that feature would be lost.
There are many potential problems with the idea, I just chose to mention one of the ones that could easily make the affected code break :)
Right. It would require additional pieces as well.
