This is not the behavior I see, at least not with 2.5.1 on Windows.

There was a proposed patch to do that, rejected, basically because doing
so could potentially slow down the interpreter start up; see
http://bugs.python.org/iss... PEP 370
http://www.python.org/dev/peps... if approved, may be useful to you.

Note that you can always do the processing in sitecustomize.py, calling
site.addsitedir for all entries in sys.path until no more entries are
added.

Looks like the docs are wrong; the code in site.py, its docstring, and the
above quoted docs are slightly different.

Where's the lie, homo? Damn... ask a homo to give me ONE example of Fox
lying on purpose to deceive it's viewers, and the troll can't come
through. No wonder you leftards have zero credibility... you have to lie
to get things done, just like Obama did to get elected.
Pathetic, dork, just pathetic.

One lie... that's all I'm asking, and you can't do it. You fail.

PIck any lie.

Facts may not be at issue

What is---would be the conclusions and/or "inferences" they use to
suggest truth.

See? Loogie cannot provide ONE lie. He asks US to provide the lie, just
like him wanting the government to do everything for his sorry ass.
Still waiting for that Fox News Lie, Loogie. Can't provide one? Then
shut the fuck up about ONE court case in which a TV station, who happens
to be an affiliate and under ZERO control of "Fox News", reported
falsely. It was 14 fucking years ago, idiot.
--------
On April 2, 1998, two award-winning Florida TV producers, Jane Akre and
Steve Wilson, held press conferences in Tampa and Tallahassee to
announce a lawsuit against a Fox TV network television station, WTVT.
The reporters sued Fox for firing them after they refused to broadcast
false reports about Monsanto's controversial genetically engineered
Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH or rBST).
--------
Do you SEE "Fox News" in there? Being a Fox affiliate has NOTHING to do
with the "Fox News Channel".

They were trying to do the public a favor. You act as though they were
lying about your Messiah, The Most High Ayatollah Husseini Obama.
--------
At the April 2 press conference, Jane Akre emphasized that the public
has a right to know the truth about the health hazards of rBGH, despite
the strong-arm tactics of Monsanto:

"Every parent and every consumer has the right to know what they're
pouring on their children's morning cereal. We set out to tell Florida
consumers the truth about a giant chemical company and a powerful dairy
lobby. That used to be something investigative reporters won awards for.
As we've learned the hard way, it's something you can be fired for these
days..."
--------

Loogie: Owned... again!
