  I would prefer to keep "python-base" because it reflects that it does
  not contain the whole python distribution but rather the basic modules.

  I previously propose to install binary indep. files in /usr/share/pythonX.Y
  and binary dep. files is /usr/lib/pythonX.Y.

  I proposed to change sys.path this way:

  /usr/local/lib/python<X>.<Y>/site-packages
  /usr/local/share/python<X>.<Y>/site-packages
  /usr/lib/python<X>.<Y>/site-packages
  /usr/share/python<X>.<Y>/site-packages

  (there are probably some missing items, but this is the main idea)
