[Python-Dev] .pth files in current or script directory

[Jeff Epler]

I'm -NFS against reading .pth files from the current directory.
When a directory is large and is on a remote filesystem, enumerating it
at startup can really kill time -- heck, just putting an NFS directory
with a handful of entries in PYTHONPATH can slow Python's startup time
considerably, now imagine that you "cd /nfs/directory_with_1000_files"
and "time python -c 'pass'" .. blah!
