Inconsistency about .pth files
Hi all! I've found what I believe is an error in the documentation. When reading about the great .pth files on this site: http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#modifying-python-s-search-path, it says that "The most convenient way is to add a path configuration file to a directory that’s already on Python’s path". That's what reality shows works as well. When reading about the same .pth files here: http://docs.python.org/library/site.html#module-site, it says "A path configuration file is a file whose name has the form *name*.pth and exists in one of the four directories mentioned above". It seems to me that the text states that there are only four valid directories where a .pth file can reside to be found, which is not true. Kind regards David Raimosson
