Python installation paths

[Alec Leamas <leamas.alec@gmail.com>]

Dear list,

I try handle a package which installs a partly compiled, 
architecture-dependent python module. Until now  this has been done in 
/usr/lib/triplet/python3.10/site-packages. This scheme has basically 
worked fine.

However, here is an Ubuntu bug [1] where a user runs into problems 
because this installation path is not in sys.path by default.

I have been trying to look in the python policy docs, but cannot find 
the exact way to install code like this, in the policy [2]
parlance an "extension module".

Any thoughts out there?

Cheers!
