Maybe "__up__" or "__up" following the convention that
double-under names are special? Just a thought...

I am not familiar with this. Dosen't this work?:
zopehome/part_in_top_level_slot.py
zopemome/plugin_slot/part_in_plugin_slot.py

For the record, I distribute a hacked main program which

program changes PYTHONPATH and/or the registry. That
is why I never change PYTHONPATH nor the registry.
