In Python 2.3a2 the site.py leaves non-existing directories in sys.path. On my Debian Linux system, using Python 2.3a2, the sys.path, after site.py is executed during interpreter initialization, includes the entry /usr/local/lib/python23.zip although no such directory currently exists on my system. The module documentation contained in site.py does state "Non-existing directories (or non-directories) are never added to sys.path" |

Logged In: YES user_id=720847 Additional info -- the site.py used in Python 2.2.2 explicitly removes non-existing and non-directory files from sys.path. The Python 2.3 site.py does not have that feature. |

Logged In: YES user_id=357491 I take it the docs are what needs to change and not site.py? |

Logged In: YES user_id=720847 I do not know what policy is desired for the condition of the path after executing site.py. I found the problem when I switched to try 2.3 and used an application I wrote which searches the path to obtain information about installed modules. During troubleshooting, the change in site.py from 2.2 to 2.3, to stop removing non-existent directories in the path, became evident as the reason for the application finding a non-existent directory in the path. The application was, of course, easily changed to skip non-existent directories. The question is whether removing of non-existent directories in the path _should_ be done by site.py |

Logged In: YES user_id=357491 Can someone with more experience with the "official" policy of of site.py say whether or not the docs should be changed or site.py itself? |

Logged In: YES user_id=357491 In Python 2.4, rev. 1.59 has site.py remove non-existing paths. |

Logged In: YES user_id=92689 As I wrote before, the _docs_ are wrong, site.py should NOT remove non-existing elements, since they may be non-file system items to be handled by a custom importer. |

Logged In: YES user_id=357491 OK, the change was backed out. |

Logged In: YES user_id=357491 Closing this as "won't fix" since the part of the docs in question apply only to .pth files and not directories already in sys.path. |
