Comment:
There are various reasons. For instance numpy has several parts of the code
organized as separate directories that constitute one Python package. Some
of it is for historical reasons. Some of it is to control "optionality".
i.e. you could build a "lite" version or a "heavy" version and whatever you
choose gets merged into the installed package.

Others might spread out code just for source maintenance and control
reasons.

Comment:
I'm doubtful of the usefulness of this patch; can you please explain the
motivation?  Why do you want to have multiple directories containing the
Python files for a single package?
