That doesn't mean we have to make it more dirty. usersiteprefix is used exclusively by site.py to load user modules; it has no function in the interpreter core. >> Besides, if _sys is a builtin module, importing it will not >> add much overhead. > > Well, that's assuming the other interpreters makes it built-in.

As far as I am aware, all current Python implementations can build in modules. -- Regards, Benjamin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
