[New-bugs-announce] [issue2972] arguments and default path not set in site.py and sitecustomize.py

[Henrik Vendelbo]

New submission from Henrik Vendelbo <hvendelbo.dev at googlemail.com>:

If you want to use site.py/sitecustomize.py as a regular python script,
altering behaviour of calling the python exe, there is a significant
problem.

sys.argv isn't assigned until after site.py completes, and the directory
of the script to execute is added to sys.path after site.py completes as
well.

If it cannot be introduced for backwards compatibility, there should at
least be a way to access the information
