Agreed.

Though I'm probably a bit strange in that I almost want a top level "py"
package, and a separating of site-packages from the sys.path and into a
top level package named "site".

The former would make clear that you expect the module to be in the
standard library, and the latter would make clear that you want a
site-packages-specific module/package.
