[issue798876] windows sys.path contains nonexistant directory

[Joseph Armbruster]

Joseph Armbruster added the comment:

If I look at Lib/plat-win back at rev 16910, winreg.py could be found
there.  Everything I see in the tree referencing plat-win is
documentation, except the PYTONPATH define itself.  It looks like
Lib/plat-win was removed back in revision 16911 [Aug 20,2000].

Log output:
Remove the winreg module from the project.  I don't believe any
docs changes are needed (only reference to winreg I could find
was in libwinreg.tex, which is documenting _winreg, and merely
mentions that a higher-level winreg module *may* appear someday;
that's still true).

And made its way back in, in 27697 [July 19, 2002].

Log output:
Land Patch [ 566100 ] Rationalize DL_IMPORT and DL_EXPORT.


I'm thinking this is stale code.

As per the test app, I know from a previous inquiry of mine that
C:\WINNT\system32\python25.zip (and the like on different systems /
version) is in fact necessary.

Your thoughts?
