Yes, I've seen this.  I was wondering (a) whether it's up to date (i.e.
whether common practice has moved on), and (b) whether there is now a
consensus about module structure --- we're expecting several packages that
will be shared between tools, plus multiple modules within tools.  I've
been tracking the occasional message about re-organizing the standard
Python library, and would like whatever we do to be in line with wherever
Python itself is going.

Thanks,
Greg
