Hi colleagues,
I was wondering why we still need stuff like autopath? I simply use a pypy.pth file in my standard python folder which contains the path to pypy, and things work fine. Why do we really need autopath?
Well, if you run stuff from inside the pypy directory it's a good idea to get the current directory *out* of sys.path.
Well, autopath doesn't do that, it just shuffles the pypy base dir to sys.path[0].
autopath is a bit of a hack, I agree, but it's not costing much, is it?
The fact that it scatters itself all over the repository is kind of a maintenance hassle I think. It doesn't seem to do anything particularly useful...
