Good point. I think you're assuming that only site dirs are appropriate for
packages that require arbitrary code execution. I think I'd like to break that
assumption and allow any location where packages can be installed (PYTHONPATH)
to install hooks. Consider this use-case:
draft $ mkdir pkgs
draft $ python3.5
-m pip download -d pkgs future_fstrings

File "hello-fstrings.py", line 1
SyntaxError: encoding problem: future_fstrings
If future-fstrings were properly installed, its runtime hook is called and the
script can run:
draft $ python3.5 -m pip-run -q future-fstrings -- hello-fstrings.py
hello world
I'd like for a package like future-fstrings to be able to supply a hook that
can be executed on startup that can be honored even if the package isn't
installed in one of the site paths.
> Let's make a PEP.
I'd be delighted to help with the PEP.
