This did a good job of explaining how packages are supposed to work
and how packages differ and interact with modules.  It also explained
what .pth files are for and that .pth files shouldn't be used unless
absolutely necessary.

Ok, but I still want to know what such a file should look like.  For
example, on one of my systems, I have Win2k, Python 2.0, and wxPython
2.2.5.  Python is installed in d:\apps\python20 wxPython is in
d:\lib\python_modules\wxPython.  Right now I have
d:\lib\python_modules in my PYTHONPATH environment variable.  If I
want to use a wxPython.pth file instead, how would I do that?   Should
it go in d:\apps\python20\lib?  What should it contain?  Simply the
path to d:\lib\python_modules\wxPython on a line by itself?

Thanks,
