where do my python files go in linux?

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi All,

I am trying to make a debian package. I am following the tutorial by
Horst Jens (http://showmedo.com/videos/video?name=linuxJensMakingDeb&fromSeriesID=37)
and it is very informative. However one thing my app has and his
doesn't, is multiple python files which need to be executed. For
example

{dir}/app
app.py

app.py calls a lot of modules in {dir}/app. Horst says the python file
goes in /usr/bin/app.py which is ok with me, but I have multiple
python files, and I decided to use an app.sh script to call my python
files. In the /usr/bin I do not see subdirs so I assume that is not
really desirable.

Question 1. Where do I put the bulk of python scripts in a normal
linux environment?
Question 2. Should I use *.pyc rather then *.py files to speed up
executing as the user cannot write to /usr/bin or any other dir in the
system and everytime my app runs it will recompile it

Thanks for any advice or maybe a good tutorial how to set up files in
a linux environment

With regards,
