Summary: 2.3a2 site.py non-existing dirs

Initial Comment:
In Python 2.3a2 the site.py leaves non-existing
directories in sys.path.

On my Debian Linux system, using Python 2.3a2,
the sys.path, after site.py is executed during
interpreter initialization, includes the entry

   /usr/local/lib/python23.zip

although no such directory currently exists on
my system.

The module documentation contained in site.py does
state

  "Non-existing directories (or non-directories)
  are never added to sys.path"

Additional info -- the site.py used in
Python 2.2.2 explicitly removes non-existing
and non-directory files from sys.path.

The Python 2.3 site.py does not have that
feature.
