[New-bugs-announce] [issue12375] Add packages_root to sys.path for hooks

[Erik Bray]

New submission from Erik Bray <erik.m.bray at gmail.com>:

I just saw issue11637 [Add cwd to sys.path for hooks] and was reminded that this would also be useful (and in fact necessary if hook code is in a package that's under some root other than cwd).

On a related matter, the current use of Distribution.package_dir is confusing.  Sometimes it's assumed to be a string, though in other parts of the code it's assumed to be a dict to support multiple package dirs--something which I thought was going away.
