I don't plan to remove any feature :-)

Do you mean sys.path? If yes, that's one of the goal of this issue. Allow you to write your own Python code to configure sys.path, rather than having to write C code, before the first (external) import.

How do you configure sys.path currently? Do you parse a configuration file? Do you use a registry key on Windows?
