Not true! I’m okay with keeping the path extension feature, albeit with improvements: * Loading of .pth files and path extension should be expressed in verbose (`python -v`) output * It should be possible to much more easily debug .pth file loading (I believe there is a PR for this but I haven’t had time to look at it yet) * It should be possible to prevent .pth file loading, likely via interpreter switch or environment variable, akin to -s/-S ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
