Wouldn't that break packages that rely on `.pth` files to be run when site.py run run (excluding the `.pth` that are generated by setuptools for namespace packages)?\r\n\r\nFew examples of such packages:\r\n\r\n* https://github.com/xando/subprocess.run/blob/master/subprocess.run.pth\r\n* https://github.com/schlamar/pytest-cov/blob/2.0/cov-core/setup.py#L12\r\n\r\nOf course it could be argued that those cases are not worth supporting :neckbeard: "}}
