Just a suggestion, but one issue that I think needs addressing is the FHS language that leads some Linux distros to believe that they should change Python's normal installation layout (sometimes in bizarre ways) (...) Other vendors apparently also patch Python in various ways to support their FHS-based theories of how Python should install files.
+1 on that. There should be a clear (and clearly presented) idea of how Python is supposed to be laid out in the distribution-provided /usr hierarchy. And it would be nice if this idea complied to FHS.
It would also be nice if somebody finally admitted the existence of /usr/lib64 and made Python aware of it ;e)
Actually, I meant that (among other things) it should be clarified that it's alright to e.g. put .pyc and data files inside Python library directories, and NOT okay to split them up.
