Sorry I don't know the answer to this, but... Are you saying that there are two passes in the sys.path resolution?
first pass: go through the sys.path elements and parse (execute) the .pth files second pass: load things Actually I suppose there is no "second pass" -- it's just that .pth files are executed *before* modules are loaded. Is that right? SO that modifying the order of sys.path elements works as expected?
