> `site.addsitedir` is called for every site-packages directory (whether global, within a venv, or at the user level), so my proposal above covers appending multiple segments.
Good point. I think you're assuming that only site dirs are appropriate for packages that require arbitrary code execution. I think I'd like to break that assumption and allow any location where packages can be installed (PYTHONPATH) to install hooks. Consider this use-case:
draft $ mkdir pkgs draft $ python3.5 -m pip download -d pkgs future_fstrings Collecting future_fstrings

File "hello-fstrings.py", line 1
SyntaxError: encoding problem: future_fstrings
If future-fstrings were properly installed, its runtime hook is called and the script can run:
draft $ python3.5 -m pip-run -q future-fstrings -- hello-fstrings.py
hello world
I'd like for a package like future-fstrings to be able to supply a hook that can be executed on startup that can be honored even if the package isn't installed in one of the site paths.

I'd be delighted to help with the PEP. |
