Note that Steve Dower made some significant changes to sys.path initialisation on Windows in Python 3.6 that could potentially be generalised to other platforms: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#finding-modules
(There's nothing inherently Windows specific about them, they're mainly useful for the case of embedding CPython inside a larger application)
One of those was to allow pythonXY.zip to be used as a sentinel indicating the location of PYTHONHOME.
