[Python-ideas] Why is there no way to pass PYTHONPATH on the command line?

[Gerald Britton]

FYI This works in Windows:

C:\Python26>set PYTHONPATH=c:\temp & python
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', 'c:\\temp', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python26.zip',
'C:\\Python26\\DLLs', 'C
:\\Python26\\lib', 'C:\\Python26\\lib\\plat-win',
'C:\\Python26\\lib\\lib-tk', '
C:\\Python26', 'C:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages',
'C:\\Python26\\lib\\site-pack
ages\\wx-2.8-msw-unicode']
>>>
