[SOLVED]Nautilus 3.10.1: python extension location (not being loaded)

I'm having a go at making a python extension for nautilus, however it's not being used by nautilus.

If I put my extension .py into ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions it works great.
If I put my extension .py into /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/python nautilus doesn't attemp to load it at all.

I've given it the same permissions as other installed extensions (-rwxr-xr-x), and I have a python shebang on the first line (#!/bin/python2).

I have no idea what could be causing it to not work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Just made the directory /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/ and placed the extension in there, seems to work fine.
