The "Modules" key (WindowsRegistryFinder in 3.3+ and previously PyWin_FindRegisteredModule) adds individual modules by subkey name, with the filepath in the default value (the filename can differ, but it can't use an arbitrary extension). The "PythonPath" and "Modules" keys both date back to Mark Hammond's Windows port in the mid 1990s. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
