Message 330115 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Regarding other uses of .pth files, the project future-fstrings relies on .pth files to enable its at-startup behavior.

I'm also +1 to remove .pth files, but I also believe it's not viable today due to development installs of pkg_resource-style namespace packages.

I haven't read the full history of this issue, but plan to get caught up on it soon.
