and if you want to avoid a messy /usr/local, consider to use stow to
manage it.


As this module seems to be pretty useful for you should also consider to
post a RFP (request for packaging) bug against the pseudo-package wnpp
(see [1]). I'm quite happy that you've posted the link to pypedal, as I
was searching for such modules for a new open source project, so I'm
probably willing to package it, but as I won't find the time to work
myself into the whole theme, test the module and package it. If you send
in a RFP, probably somebody else will package it, or I'll have a look at
it when I start with the project - which won't be this summer.


Cheers,

Bernd
