Thanks Marcus,
Sure adding to the PYTHONPATH can work too, however if I release a tool
into the public space I don't want to have to support the artists that
know nothing about setting that stuff up. I just want them to drop a
directory in somewhere / exctract it, and have it just work. Activating
the plug-in isn't a big issue either as it's standard.
Anything with editing env vars for artists is a tricky business and only
leads to me not wanting to release tools to the public as I have to
answer tech support emails. I've been through it too many times.
Thanks,
Eric T.

Hey Eric,
You can use multiple userSetup.py files, they will get read in the
order they appear on the PYTHONPATH. Then you can have your users
append a custom path to their PYTHONPATH, say the one pointing to your
distribution, which will then get read durign startup, without the
user having copy any files.
Not sure which way is better, but it is an alternative. It's how we do
it for Pyblish and it has worked rather well; the PYTHONPATH is
typically set during launch of an application, which basically makes
it a method of exposing distributions on a per-project basis.
See for example.
