Putting .pydistutils.cfg .pypirc .unittest2.cfg .idlerc and possibly
other in the user home directory (or %APPDATA% on win32 and
what-have-you on Mac) is unnecessary clutter. However, $PYTHONUSERBASE
is not the right directory for configuration files, as pointed in
http://bugs.python.org/issue7175

It would be nice to agree on a ~/.python (resp. %APPADATA%/Python) or
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/python directory and put config files there.
