Yes, the whole "where does it go" thing is really only an issue for
Python add-ons, not applications that happen to use or be written in
Python. (An extreme case of this would be where the application
embeds an interpreter and defines certain things in C, so that its
Python scripts might not even be importable by the normal
interpreter.) Those can go wherever it is appropriate to put them,
probably /usr/share/<foo> or /usr/lib/<foo>...
