Really? Jim, why not? I think it solves some problems and the fect that some 
independent people do this, shows that it is a good thought. I like the 
public.py idea. +1 from my part.

I am actually VERY much against that. It will make my programming experience 
much worse. What about symlinks as suggested earlier. The build process could 
setup the symlink hierarchy. But please, do not put the views anywhere else! 
So, -1.
