+1  I'm watching this same debate over on Python-Dev.  It's definitely
schizophrenic.  There are people who are perfectly happy to have Unix
conventions, and there are those who want stuff in ~/Library/$PKG.
Neither camp would be happy with some stuff in ~/Library and some in a
.directory.

-0  In that same debate, the Mac fans are pretty vociferous about
wanting ~/Library.  Curiously enough, these are also the people who
actually contribute to Mac-oriented stuff in Python, they're not the
peanut gallery.

Sure, but I doubt that's what the users will say.
