Also, a fun fact, starting with Maya 2017, the import paths are scrambled 
during startup by maya.

Basically they are doing:

sys.path = list(set(sys.path) | set(os.environ.get('PYTHONPATH', 
'').split(os.pathsep)))

The idea is that they are trying to eliminate duplicates, which this does, 
but because they are putting everything into sets, it scrambles the order.
