[Python-Dev] Extending startup code: PEP needed?

[Martin v. Loewis]

Authors of extension packages often find the need to auto-import some
of their modules. This is often needed for registration, e.g. a codec
author (like Tamito KAJIYAMA, who wrote the JapaneseCodecs package)
may need to register a search function with codecs.register. This is
currently only possible by writing into sitecustomize.py, which must
be done by the system administrator manually.

To enhance the service of site.py, I've written the patch

http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103134&group_id=5470

which treats lines in PTH files which start with "import" as
statements and executes them, instead of appending these lines to
sys.path.

The patch is relatively small, but since it is an extension: Do I need
to write a PEP for it?

Martin
