"This is no longer necessary" in the code refers to the explicit

    import site

statement which used to be required in Python programs (I understand).
Since 1.5 final the import of this module has been automatic.  Site
customizations should be specified in ...

sitecustomize.py

imported, if importable, automatically by site.py
