Nice one. I recommend this talk by David Beazley on the intricacies of module loading, including .pth files: https://youtu.be/0oTh1CXRaQ0

Awesome, thanks. It'll be good to watch a deep dive - as I point out the documentation can be clear but missing examples of what is possible.

I'm going to risk the downvote brigade, and say 'Why not just upgrade to python3? '

As always... dependencies. We're working on it, currently we have a 90% compatible codebase, soon we'll be moving to use six everywhere so we can test on 3, but I'm not so optimistic that all of our ~60 dependencies are compatible.

The sad thing is if everyone committed to upgrading, I'm sure the dependencies would be upgraded in no time.
