I'm generally in favour of getting rid of .pth files. But I did accept a PR adding support for them in Flit to act as a substitute for symlinks on Windows, to achieve something like a 'development install'. I'm not sure what the alternative is if they go away. ---------- nosy: +takluyver _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
