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()"
Do you mean something along the lines of http://bugs.python.org/issue13475? This would add --path0 and --nopath0 as commandline options. Of course, this would only be in Python 3.4 (if it makes it in at all).
Why is the proposal --path0 and not --path? (The only utility I know with a command line option spelled as "foo0" is find, where -print0 means "like -print, but append \0 instead of \n".) -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
