A thought I had a while back.  Feel free to ignore it.

What is the current opinion on extension modules?  Currently they tend
to end up deep down in

/Libary/Frameworks/Python.framework/.../site-packages/

Wouldn't it be nice if one could build a loadable bundle type thing
that could be installed alongside the framework, or in 

/Library/Application Support/Python

or somewhere?  This could include headers for e.g. Numeric.

Cheers,
M.
