In general things are added to the python modules under site-packages dealing
with stuff added at the extra Python layer, for example ufl_element and such.
Also methods that are not part of the C++ interface are usually added here.

In foo_post we try to mimic the C++ interface as much as possible. In
function_pre.i we rename function_space to _function_space and reimplement it
in function_post.i. These two changes hang together.

And as always there are probably lots of exceptions...
Ok, so stuff providing same functionality as C++, but just needing redefinition to make the more sense go in foo_post.i, extra stuff go in site-packages. Thanks!

I was wondering what makes something go in foo_post.i instead of in the
"explicit" reimplementation in dolfin.bar.Foo.

For instance: in function_post.i, Function is extended by the method
function_space().
Is there a particular reason why that is added there, rather than in
dolfin.functions.function.Function ?

Thanks :-)
