However, this list is perhaps a better choice (?) I try handle a package which installs a partly compiled, architecture-dependent python module. That is, besides some normal python files it also contains a compiled, architecture-dependent so-file which is imported by the python files. Until now this has been installed in /usr/lib/triplet/python3.10/site-packages. This scheme has basically worked fine. However, here is an Ubuntu bug [1] where a user runs into problems because this installation path is not in sys.path by default. I have been trying to look in the python policy docs, but cannot find the exact way to install code like this. Any thoughts out there?
