While we're on the subject of .pth files, what about
the idea of scanning the directory containing the main
.py file for .pth files? This would make it easier to
have collections of Python programs sharing a common

system-wide or write hairy sys.path-manipulating code
or use platform-dependent symlink or PATH hacks.
