I can quickly change the layout of pyaudio so that it looks like above. 
I am not sure about the setup.py, and sciwhatever/__init__.py, though (I 
don't know much about python packages and co)

    - Is sciwhatever/__init__.py shared accross all the packages (ie 
always the same in primme,pyaudio, etc... ?)
    - Should the setup.py follow the same convention that the scipy 
modules' ones ?

Cheers,
