E:\TinyURL\app\Release>tinyurl Fatal Python error: only 'import site' is supported in ._pth file Current thread 0x0000161c (most recent call first): The above Happens when I try to use the ._pth file to automatically call .main() However it prints that and then Crashes on Windows. I am not sure about how it does on linux or not. I would like this extended to work how I thought it would. (To support more than just site.py in the standard library as this would reduce rebuilds of embedded interpreters.

This is by design. You should not be using the ._pth file for anything other than initializing sys.path. If you want to run code at startup, consider using sitecustomize.py or a regular .pth file, all of which will be imported when you include "import site" in the ._pth file.
