I'm with Terry on this, it needs a better rationale. Why can't you just add a .pth file to the site-packages directory? It seems that would address the issue nicely. (See http://docs.python.org/lib/module-site.html for documentation of the .pth mechanism, which would let you implement a separate vendor-packages directory without modifying Python, and would still allow local overrides of your vendor packages.) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
