We're using a library of our own Python modules & packages.
The Python documentation[0] states that the search path can be extended
via <name>.pth files which should be added to specific directories.
While the documentation specifically mentions
"lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages (on Unix and macOS)", I found that Debian
seems to do this differently:
$ python -c 'import site ; print(site.getsitepackages())'
['/usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages',
'/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.11/dist-packages']
I.e. instead of `site-packages`, it uses `dist-packages` sub-folders.
Given that these sub-folders are managed by Debian/`apt`, where should I
place our custom.pth file pointing to other (network drive) folders we
would like to include in Python's search paths?
Thanks for your time.
