Hi,
I will add a link to
https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/init_config.html#python-path-configuration
as we're trying to at least mention every way sys.path can be initialised.
I think the audience for the C API docs are likely to be more knowledgeable
than those reading the Setup and Usage section, so I don't believe it will
be possible to merge the information.
Thanks,
Russel
