To do so, set + the environment variable ``SETUPTOOLS_SYS_PATH_TECHNIQUE`` to + anything but "rewrite" (consider "raw"). During any install operation + with manipulation disabled, setuptools packages will be appended to + sys.path naturally. + + Future versions may change the default behavior to disable + manipulation. If so, the default behavior can be retained by setting + the variable to "rewrite". + +---- 18.2 ---- diff --git a/setuptools/command/easy_install.py b/setuptools/command/easy_install.py index 2b639c1b..7c0dfa99 100755 --- a/setuptools/command/easy_install.py +++ b/setuptools/command/easy_install.py @@ -1612,7 +1612,8 @@ class RewritePthDistributions(PthDistributions): """) -PthDistributions = RewritePthDistributions +if os.environ.get('SETUPTOOLS_SYS_PATH_TECHNIQUE', 'rewrite') == 'rewrite': + PthDistributions = RewritePthDistributions def _first_line_re(): |
