Summary: execute
"execute sitedir if it starts with 'import'" doesn'

Initial Comment:
docstring says "execute sitedir" - but that isn't what gets executed. 

suggested: 
    """Add a new path to known_paths by combining sitedir and 'name' 
or execute lines in name.pth that start with 'import'"""

site.py

def addpackage(sitedir, name, known_paths):

    """Add a new path to known_paths by combining sitedir and 'name' or execute sitedir if it starts with 'import'"""

    fullname = os.path.join(sitedir, name)
        f = open(fullname, "rU")
        for line in f:
            if line.startswith("import"):
                exec line
