The subversion system looks pretty nice !
So here's a modified proposal that covers the python version as well.
= per user configuration files = 
 ~/.pythonMAJOR.MINOR
Examples:
~/.python2.7
~/.python3.1
On Windows, ~ will be replaced by APPDATA if founded in the environment.
 
== global configuration files ==
On Linux/Mac:
/etc/pythonMAJOR.MINOR
examples:
/etc/python2.7/
/etc/python3.1/
On Windows:
\All users\Application Data\PythonMAJORMINOR
(\All users\Application Data is specified by the Windows Registry)
examples:
\All users\Application Data\Python26
\All users\Application Data\Python31
== standard naming for configuration files ==
The files are all named "NAME.cfg", in all platforms.
== what gets in per-user configuration directory ==
- pypi.cfg
- distutils.cfg
== what gets in global configuration directory ==
- distutils.cfg
== apis added ==
in site.py:
- getuserconfig() : returns the per-user configuration directory
- getconfig(): returns the global configuration directory
(the names are following site.py naming style)
