[New-bugs-announce] [issue31413] Support importing anything in ._pth files.

[Decorater]

New submission from Decorater:

E:\TinyURL\app\Release>tinyurl
Fatal Python error: only 'import site' is supported in ._pth file

Current thread 0x0000161c (most recent call first):

The above Happens when I try to use the ._pth file to automatically call <something>.main()

However it prints that and then Crashes on Windows. I am not sure about how it does on linux or not.

I would like this extended to work how I thought it would. (To support more than just site.py in the standard library as this would reduce rebuilds of embedded interpreters.
