.pth in current directory: Why doesn't it work as the documentation says?

Python processes .pth files only in some directories. The directories are

 * the global site-packages directory
 * the user site-packages directory (starting with Python 2.6)
 * and any directory that is added by a .pth file

The feature is implemented and documented in the site.py file.
