Why is there no way to pass PYTHONPATH on the command line? Oversight or intentional?

Given path_item/something.py

python -p path_item -c "import something; something.foo()"

I am aware that the __main__.py behavior lessens the need for this significantly.

PYTHONPATH=whatever python -c "import something; something.foo()"

Yes, I've heard of that one. Does it work on Windows too?
