Regarding other uses of .pth files, the project [future-fstrings](https://github.com/asottile/future-fstrings) relies on .pth files to enable its at-startup behavior. I'm also +1 to remove .pth files, but I also believe it's not viable today due to development installs of pkg_resource-style namespace packages. I haven't read the full history of this issue, but plan to get caught up on it soon. ---------- nosy: +jason.coombs _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
