Using Python 2.7 on Windows 7

Ah, useful. A lot more than is on windows path and PYTHONPATH
obviously gets snuck in there. Sure enough, I queried sys.path and
there's a Lot more in there. But even that wasn't everything since I
saw RLPy and vtk had also set up their own system variables when I
checked the environment. But those are special variables. From now on
if I'm not sure something is on the path I can just query sys.path and
see if it's there. Good to know.

If I dump a package (not sure how to do that beyond just deleting it,
but I've tried some bad ones, so I'd like to) how do I remove it from
sys.path, or do I need to? I know the windows path and the registry
have a bad habit of accumulating stuff that is no longer there, and
just keeping it. Programs add to the windows path, but when you
uninstall them, don't delete from the path, and it grows and grows.
