<pre wrap="">Uh, news to me that any solution was agreed to. Last I heard this
group was in no way on the same page.
Rather than having me misread your code, can you put a plain summary here?

Agreed.<br>
<br>
But since September everyone has been locked in a loop:<br>
<br>
10 Someone notices that things are wrong and mentions / patches it<br>
<br>
20 Everyone argues over the N ways to solve it for about a week<br>
<br>
30 During the argument someone comes up with method N+1<br>
<br>
40 An impasse is reached, everyone walks away in frustration for a
few weeks. Some forget half of the previous conclusions.<br>
<br>
50 GOTO 10<br>
<br>
The solutions so far have been:<br>
<br>
1. Violate FHS. If this is kosher then it is also kosher to mangle
the user's PYTHONPATH and we should do that instead.<br>
<br>
2. Old system of modules randomly inaccessible. (I would be tolerant
of this)<br>
<br>
3. .pth files. I'm not clear about why these are horribly broken,
but they must be or they would have not been shot down as soon as
they were mentioned.<br>
<br>
4. The nightmare of !615<br>
<br>
5. Have I forgotten something?<br>

This is not helpful. Someone needs to give a concrete example of
another project that achieves this (and where the solution is
compatible with waf) so we can see what they are doing.<br>

Not yet written. It would summarize the issues we have had and why
we picked the particular solution.<br>
