Hi Nick,

Please don't, since that would force everyone to start using PEP 648 just to extend sys.path, which would be just as bad as the status quo.

I think Barry is referring to deprecate the execution capabilities of pth files (https://bugs.python.org/issue33944), not the files themselves.

Cheers,
Pablo Galindo Salgado
