I'm looking at VTK, a large C++ code that also provides Python bindings.
I'm wondering now where to install the Python files. From the Debian Python
guidelines [1] :

> Public Python 3 modules must be installed in the system Python 3 modules
directory, /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages.
> Architecture-independent public Python 3 modules must be installed to
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages.

(And likewise for Python 2.) From this, I understand that for all arches,
the files go in `/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages`. Is this correct? If yet,
the wording in the guidelines could probable be improved.

Cheers,
Nico
