I suggest deprecating the "site-python" feature from site.py, as proposed by Guido on python-dev: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-October/129820.html - if a "site-python" directory is detected and added from site.py, a DeprecationWarning should be emitted - the site.py docs should mention the deprecation

Guido wrote "I suggest that we remove that feature. (People who want it can always patch up their own $PYTHONPATH.)". It's different than deprecating the feature :-) I didn't know the feature before you proposed to remove it. Is the site-python thing used in the wild? I never see any OS relying on it.
