Notes from python-dev
=====================
The python-dev discussion has been very fruitful. Here are some
in-progress notes from that thread which still needs to be reconciled
into the body of the PEP.
* Rarity of the use of this feature. Important for distros but
probably much less so for individual users (who may never even see
these things).
* Sibling vs folder-per-folder. Do performance measurements. Do stat
calls outweigh everything else? We need to do an analysis of the
current implementation as a baseline.
* Magic numbers in file names are magical; no one really knows the
mappings. Maybe we should use magic strings (with a lookup table?),
e.g. 'foo.cython-27.py'
* Modules should unambiguously name their __source__ and __cache__
file names. __file__ is ambiguous.
