1 """Append module search paths for third-party packages to sys.path.
3 ****************************************************************
4 * This module is automatically imported during initialization. *
5 ****************************************************************
7 In earlier versions of Python (up to 1.5a3), scripts or modules that
8 needed to use site-specific modules would place ``import site''
9 somewhere near the top of their code. Because of the automatic
10 import, this is no longer necessary (but code that does it still
11 works).
13 This will append site-specific paths to the module search path. On
14 Unix (including Mac OSX), it starts with sys.prefix and
15 sys.exec_prefix (if different) and appends
16 lib/python<version>/site-packages as well as lib/site-python.
17 On other platforms (such as Windows), it tries each of the
18 prefixes directly, as well as with lib/site-packages appended. The
19 resulting directories, if they exist, are appended to sys.path, and
20 also inspected for path configuration files.
22 A path configuration file is a file whose name has the form
23 <package>.pth; its contents are additional directories (one per line)
24 to be added to sys.path. Non-existing directories (or
25 non-directories) are never added to sys.path; no directory is added to
26 sys.path more than once. Blank lines and lines beginning with
27 '#' are skipped. Lines starting with 'import' are executed.
29 For example, suppose sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix are set to
30 /usr/local and there is a directory /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages
31 with three subdirectories, foo, bar and spam, and two path
32 configuration files, foo.pth and bar.pth. Assume foo.pth contains the
33 following:
35 # foo package configuration
36 foo
37 bar
38 bletch
40 and bar.pth contains:
42 # bar package configuration
43 bar
45 Then the following directories are added to sys.path, in this order:
47 /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bar
48 /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/foo
50 Note that bletch is omitted because it doesn't exist; bar precedes foo
51 because bar.pth comes alphabetically before foo.pth; and spam is
52 omitted because it is not mentioned in either path configuration file.
54 After these path manipulations, an attempt is made to import a module
55 named sitecustomize, which can perform arbitrary additional
56 site-specific customizations. If this import fails with an
57 ImportError exception, it is silently ignored.
