What's the perfect (OS independent) way of storing filepaths ?

  Personally, I feel the same way about dumping files
  into the python  site-package  directory ....

  For example, I've never understood why kde and qt packages
  don't use a sub-dir to house their  xxxx.so  libs ....

  Moving the  xxxx.egg-info  files into sub-dirs or their own tree
  would also clean up the  site-packages  dir ....
