Ignoring windows registry PythonPath subkeys

[Floris Bruynooghe]

Hi

We basically want the same as the OP in [1], i.e. when python starts
up we don't want to load *any* sys.path entries from the registry,
including subkeys of the PythonPath key.  The result of that thread
seems to be to edit PC/getpathp.c[2] and recompile.

This isn't that much of a problem since we're compiling python anyway,
but is that really still the only way?  Surely this isn't such an
outlandish requirement?


Regards
Floris

[2] By looking at getpathp.c it seems just commenting out the two
calls to getpythonregpath(), for machinepath and userpath should work
in most cases.
