 I don't think this is a good idea. - Matt Wilkie described the WHY well in 
issue 603 [1]:

""" Basically anything in the root folder of the leo-editor code repository 
is not installed when using pip. This
is because they need to be relative to ./leo-editor/leo folder, which make 
them at the top of ./site-packages,
and thus in the global namespace and not part of leo (as far as python is 
concerned).  ... """

I believe it is time now to seriously discuss his other proposal on "Root 
source code folder cleanup: justify your existence or be banished!"" [2] as 
well.

With kind regards,

Viktor
