/usr/share/pyshared is implementation detail (changed recently)
which you shouldn't know about (and use it since you shouldn't know it
exists ;).
Symlinking to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/foo.py is not a good
idea as well (although there will be no Python 2.8, I hope - if you use
it, backporters will not be happy).
I suggest to use `python -m foo` or write a wrapper that uses this
command or Python script that imports foo and calls foo.main() (where
main() is whatever is called after "if __name__ == '__main__':" in this
file)
