[Zope-dev] Policy question: correct location to put member contributed libraries libraries

[Andrew Wilcox]

I have a PersistentList and PersistentDict library available for download
over at zope.org.  I had the tarball put the library in lib/python/ZODB,
which is clearly wrong (must of had a brain cramp that day :).

Question -- where should it go?

It could install itself as if it were a Zope Product:
lib/python/Products/PersistentListDict/(PersistentList.py,
PersistentDict.py, readme.txt)

Then developers who wanted to use the library could use the following
incantation:

     from Products.PersistentListDict.PersistentList import PersistentList
     mylist = PersistentList()

However... it's not really a Product.  It's a Python class to be called
from Python code.  It doesn't participate in or have anything to do with
the Zope product interface at all.

Thoughts?
