Hi Stuart,
I know this is old so sorry to anyone else. But since no one
replied--I haven't looked too closely at what it is you're trying to
accomplish. But whatever the reason, that seems like a
reasonable-enough way to me if you need to get a .pth file installed
into site-packages. I'm not sure why it isn't working for you in
WIndows but it wasn't clear what the problem was. I just tried this
in a Windows VM and it worked fine?
Best,
Erik
