Hmmm, for lack of a better response, here are some suggestions, based
on what I've seen on Windows+Linux.
#1 put the .pth in the site-packages directory (this is what I do on
Linux). I think Python considers it special and looks for pth.
you can probably get that directory from doing
import sys
for i in sys.path:
print i
#2 put the .pth in the directory where the python executable is
located (this is less messy on Windows than on Linux or OS X)
which python (run on the OS X terminal command shell) should give you
an idea of where that is.
#3 Another idea is to use the Finder to find _other_ *.pth files that
may exist and put yours in the same location.
Best of luck.
