It's one path per line. Doesn't get too much simpler than that. .pth files have been around forever (almost literally, they have been around since I started using Python anyway, 7 years ago) and are documented pretty well in the Python docs: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-site.html > and the chances of screwing something up > there I think are higher than in the more user-oriented buildout.cfg. True, at least if you trust the recipe authors. Although deleting a line isn't very hard. > Also, does deleting egg A in easy_install.pth cause any eggs that were > installed as dependencies of A but are no longer needed to go as well?
