I have been asking this myself, too. I definitely see an advantage
beeing able to put modules and submodules in one file. IMO it's a 
logical structure IMO and it is easier to distribute. If you just want to send 
someone a module to work/test with (without requiring setup.py etc.pp.)
a file is a nicer unit. The next better step involves creating a
(distutils-) package. But i don't always want to create packages for a module.

Maybe there is an elegant way to achieve this? I don't find Kevin's
code too hard to understand, btw...
