No, too much assuming causes these problems. I said "Due to the way
that python works, if any part of a python's module". However you
assumed I was speaking about a python module PACKAGE. Now, did I say
Package? No, I said module. Pretty hard to remove a quote that didn't
exist. Please don't put words in my mouth.
OK, so in your POV a user asked whether it is OK to place foo.py and
bar.so in sitelib and sitearch respectively and you answer that baz.py
can't be installed under both sitearch and sitelib.
I think it's better to admit the original error instead. :)
