I've reverted[1] the package split and make a few changes based on
your patch. Nice to see that it wasn't working because of a typo and
not anything more serious.

I also like the idea of not hardcoding a Python version (even a Python
2 one) in some "install" file path, as now could be changed from
"usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/" to "usr/share/".

Thanks again for the help and the patch.

Mostly because of the problem that I faced earlier, where the package
hadn't worked as I expected because of the "*.pyc" file. Turns out
that this was caused by a typo spotted by Piotr. The package is now
being properly in a private application directory.

Tiago.
