Hi, I will add a link to https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/init_config.html#python-path-configuration as we're trying to at least mention every way sys.path can be initialised. I think the audience for the C API docs are likely to be more knowledgeable than those reading the Setup and Usage section, so I don't believe it will be possible to merge the information. Thanks, Russel
