-  ##5258/#10642: print fn, line, traceback and continue when .pth file is broken
-  
-  Previously site.py would end with a traceback and not complete the
-  initialization of site-packages, but the interpreter would start.
-  now site.py does as much initialization as it can, while reporting
-  more useful information to help debug the problem in the .pth file.
+  #5258/#10642: print fn, line, traceback and continue when .pth file is broken
+
+  If a .pth file contained an error, it could cause a traceback in site.py,
+  terminating its processing.  In 2.7 and 3.2, the interpreter will then not
+  start.  Previously, a message would print saying to use -v to get the
+  traceback.  In either case, the traceback generated for a failed .pth file did
+  not include the .pth filename, making it difficult to debug the problem.  Now
+  site.py reports not only the .pth filename but also the line number causing the
+  error, and just skips the remainder of the file.
