Make a file called mylibraries.pth with contents
/path/to/mylibraries
Put the file in your site-packages folder (I don't know wherethat is for
you).
Updating Python will still require copying the .pth file to the new
site-packages folder but no editing.
Or you could just put the libraries in site-packages directly.
