> Ah, higery’s code already has an answer for me: it writes *two* paths in the .pth file, one to the build dir (so that .dist-info is found) and one to the modules root (for modules, built in place).  Anyone sees a problem with that?  (For example huge sys.path.)

That sounds reasonable to me. I'm not worried about that making sys.path
too long: whatever we do we aren't going to challenge buildout in that
department ;-)
