Sad to read the PEP was rejected but on the bright side, the SC gives lots of useful and actionable advice on how could be it improved. Namely:
- More technical discussion on how this interacts with other
sys.pathmangling mechanisms. - More discussion on “progressive enhancement” or a transition path to other environment management methods (if needed?!).
- More “social proof” that “the community” (and not only the people that happen to be engaged in this Discourse?) (although maybe not all the community, but a piece of it, namely beginners) would find this valuable, useful, and a net improvement over existing methods.
