I posted a question on c.l.py[1] looking for a feature and I suspect it doesn't exist. Some quick searches on -ideas and -dev didn't reveal anything either. Has the idea of [python] environment initialization been pitched/rejected before or does it already exist? Simply, I'm looking for a mechanism to automatically load some meta_path hooks after site initialization. Without modifying libpython, I can achieve what I'm trying to do by: * Mangling the site.py file to run the code. (in my case, "import c.lib; c.lib.install()") * Overriding the python3 executable (not desirable; consider embedding) * Provide an alternate executable. (not desirable; again embedding and lack of availability in scripts pointing directly to python3) * LD_PRELOAD overrides? (portability problems abound, I imagine. mangling seems preferable) * Perform installation in the dependent (duplication of installation in each dependent) [1] https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/comp.lang.python/CCHe8_WH...
