Add the OP's quote that is missing above and you'll see what you were
meaning with "part of a python's module". I replied to the original
post of yours, where all the context is present and I think it's quite
clear.

E.g. your answer only makes sense if the packager was implying to tear
foo.py apart into an arch-dependent and arch-independent part, which
is certainly not what he wanted to do.
