Okay.

Some do (and I don’t know why). I lifted this phase from “solfege”,
which also won’t run without this.

The Scheme equivalent is something like this:
(for-each site.addsitedir
(filter (cut string-contains <> "site-packages")
sys.path))
The bracketed expression in Python is like the ‘(filter ...)’
expression.
I don’t know if this could be expressed any clearer in plain Python
without making this much longer.
