I would like to see some way of having bytecode files put
into platform/version dependent subdirectories, which
would make it easier e.g. to have Python code shared
over a network between machines of different architectures
or running different Python versions. But the scheme this
PEP proposes (a single session-wide location) is too
coarse-grained for what I have in mind. So I would not
support this particular PEP without sufficiently large
changes that it might as well become a new PEP.
