oh yeah as for install targets, definitely under
lib/python3.1/site-packages/isc, but directly there? (i.e.
lib/python3.1/site-packages/isc/bind10/bind10.py, or
lib/python3.1/site-packages/tools/bind10/bind10.py or something similar)?

The bin/ is about the source tree; should we reflect the above in the
source tree as well? (i'd prefer not, and leave them together with the
script that needs them in one dir, though that may not be possible if we
want to then use import isc.tools.bind10)
