Can you elaborate here? A long time ago I went to some pain to allow .pth
files in a local pyxpcom directory to be sniffed, so stuff could be dropped
there and "just work". The idea is that you might be sharing a Python
between many xulrunner apps, so you need a "local" path in addition to the
"global" Lib/site-packages folder which have .pth files processed. Indeed,
I can't see a good reason why easy_install/eggs shouldn't "just work"
already from a Python distribution hosting pyxpcom (but I've never tried)
I'm interested to know if you are explicitly trying to *avoid* some of this
behavior, and why? I would have thought that .pth files working is a
*feature* rather than a liability :) Or quite possibly I'm not
understanding something...
Cheers,
Mark
