The directory name has been commented on by glyph in great length
(again). Thanks glyph! I'm all on his side. The base directory for
Python related files should be a dot directory in the root directory of
the users home dir. I slightly prefer ~/.local/ over other suggestions
but I'm also open to ~/.python.d/

Should I wait with the commit until we have agreed on a directory name
or do you want me to commit the code now?

Correct, it's an optimization to enhance the memory utilization.
