Perhaps user configuration belongs in ~/.local/, or ~/.local/python/ (with attendant Windows & Mac OS noises); I don't really care where it lands, because right now we just have a mess. Getting it "right" with respect to Window's "roaming" notion and how people expect to work with it is... unlikely. Picking a place is better than not, so we know where to find things. But that's all it buys us.
I've missed most of this discussion while on vacation, but if ~/.local is supposed to mirror /usr/local, then wouldn't a logical place for per-user configuration files be ~/.local/etc/whatever.cfg? -Barry
