Did someone file a radar for this? Otherwise I can do so.  

I can affirm that Extras.pth is now in /Library/Python/2.7 instead of in a system location. This sucks as bits of the system install now infect other installs of Python 2.7. One more reason to stop using 2.7 I guess ;-)

BTW. Has anyone experience with using LLDB on Sierra? I’m currently running Sierra in a VM and for some reason LLDB doesn’t appear to work, in an SSH session I cannot start programs at all and on the console a crashing bug in the interpreter exists the interpreter instead of breaking into the debugger. That’s rather annoying when you’re trying to a debug a crash on 10.12 that doesn’t happen on 10.11.
