You can have a local sitecustomize.py in the current directory, which wouldn't change the Python installation. Would that help? As far as I can tell, the current directory isn't added to the sys.path until after site.py executes, so I don't believe you can rely on .pth files to do anything like what you want. Sitecustomize.py is it, with appropriate smarts inside. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
