[issue5258] addpackage in site.py fails hard on badly formed .pth files

[James Wheare]

James Wheare <james at wheare.org> added the comment:

To clarify, the exception doesn't interrupt the interpreter, but the 
only indication of a problem is the following message:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

And you're then unable to import modules from site-packages.

Also, here's a clickable link to the blog post with more details:

(rather aggressive line length enforcement going on here...)
