Sure.  But AIUI that's not the problem that "~/.local" is intended to
solve.  Also, it's a generic problem of networked environments, not in
any way limited to "~", which should be susceptible to the usual
solutions for multiarchitecture installations (eg subdirectories named
by GNU's CPU-OS-VENDOR convention, or your UUID convention).  In
particular, "pure Python" programs shouldn't much care, right?
