Probably all will be well. However I generally think its a bad idea to keep your scripts inside the Python folder structure since it makes it harder to share them over multiple Python versions and of course there is the small risk that an upgrade like this might destroy them (if for example Python acquired a dev sub folder structure!) I always create a separate folder structure for my python code and point python at it using the PYTHONPATH env variable (or sys.path). But that may not be a generally held view...
