It can. The advantage of a separate file is that it won't conflict with existing sitecustomize modules, so (for example) redistributors can add a default sslcustomize, and you can add one to your virtual environments that are integrated with the system Python environment without needing to worry about whether or not there's a global sitecustomize (you'd only have trouble if there was a global sslcustomize).
