While solving this problem, is it possible also to address an issue that
shows up in certain distributions? I'm specifically talking about the fact
that on Redhat/Fedora, we have on x86_64 both /usr/lib/pythonxx/ and
/usr/lib64/pythonxx. The former is supposed to be for non-arch specific
packages (pure python) and the latter for arch-specific.
If it happens that there is:
/usr/lib/pythonxxx/site-packages/mypackage/
and
/usr/lib64/pythonxxx/site-packages/mypackage/subpackage
This (and probably some similar variations) won't work with the current
module loading algorithm. (I believe this is the issue I encountered, it
was a while ago).
