The documentation > suggests that it should pick up both. If a .pth file contains a valid directory, it is added to sys.path but it's not searched for additional .pth files. From http://docs.python.org/lib/module-site.html "A path configuration file is a file whose name has the form package.pth AND EXISTS IN ONE OF THE FOUR DIRECTORIES MENTIONED ABOVE" (emphasis by me) (the four directories being .../lib/python2.5/site-packages, site-python, etc.) (Mmm, what the 2.5 docs say is not exactly the same as the actual code in site.py, and the version in http://docs.python.org/dev/library/site.html is not the same as the svn version of site.py... anyway, directories added by mean of .pth files are not recursively searched for more .pth files) -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
