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.

Hi,
I tried to document inputs and outputs of Modules/getpath.py in the C API Initialization API:
https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/init_config.html#python-path-configuration
I don't know if it would be possible to merge most of these information at a single place to avoid oudated documentation.

Hi All,
Steve Dower, Eryk Sun and I have been working on improving the
documentation around how sys.path is initialised and therefore how Python modules are found.
We're moving the details from
https://docs.python.org/3.11/using/windows.html#finding-modules
to a platform-agnostic new section in https://docs.python.org/3.11/using/cmdline.html
We're aiming to have one place in the documentation where all the ways to customize sys.path (PYTHONPATH, ._pth, site, etc) are at least mentioned.
We'd appreciate further community feedback on the changes before they are merged. https://bugs.python.org/issue31582 https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/31082
Thank you, Russel
