Right. The wording in that PEP is ambiguous at best, but the inclusion of the Python version number in the listed path suggests that this is for automatically managed stat (like those trashy *.pth files some tools worry about), not for something the human user is going to manipulate directly. That PEP is particularly concerned with package management per user (a dodgy proposition at best), so everything there is about package management tool support, not user-manipulated configuration data. -Fred -- Fred L.
