2) Change the test to somehow disable .pth execution while keeping the rest of site.py intact. This gives more consistent test results, but still is mostly applicable to normal usage.

If you start the process with "-S", then run:

 import site
 site.addpackage = lambda *a: None
 site.main()
 # rest of the test

Then that should do it. This will cut out all .pth processing, but shouldn't affect any of the other steps.

Cheers, Steve
