I like this, except one issue: I really don't like the .local directory. I don't see any compelling reason why this needs to be ~/.local/lib/ -- IMO it should just be ~/lib/. There's no need to hide it from view, especially since the user is expected to manage this explicitly. > Alternative memory allocation for ints, floats and longs using PyMalloc > instead of the current block allocation.
