actually i only stripped out the src/ part from what i thought was the
'current' proposal :)

the main point is to put language before (base) module in the directory
layout, so there would only have to be one isc module. That would also
fix the __init__.py problem (since it'll simply include all actual
modules) and installation of the python library parts would be nothing
more than a direct copy (and unnecessary to simply run tests etc).

The only thing that would be left open then is what to do if you really
only want to install one specific module's python library and not the rest.
