Ok I understand that if you have a pure python module it goes in
%{python_sitelib} (/usr/lib) and if you have a C extension module it
goes in %{python_sitearch} (/usr/lib for 32bit or /usr/lib64 for 64
bit).
What doesn't seem to be clear is if you have a package with a mixture
do you install everything into %{python_sitearch} or do you put the
.py's in %{python_sitelib} and the C extension modules in
%{python_sitearch}...
Looking in /usr/lib64 I see a lot of .py files, but that doesn't mean
they're right :)
The python interpreter expects to find all parts of a module in the
same directory, so if there are C bits, everything goes in
%{python_sitearch}.
This is why all parts of the python-twisted stack are in arch-specific
packages even though most of the code is pure python for instance.
