# Explanation of .pth, ._pth, and isolated mode

## Isolated mode
    We want to run in what is called isolated mode, given by the switch -I.
This mode prevents the embedded python distribution from searching in
global directories for imports

    For example, if a user has `C:\Python37` and the embedded distribution is
the same version, importing something using the embedded distribution will
search `C:\Python37\Libs\site-packages`. This is not desirable because it
means I might forget to distribute a dependency if I have it installed
globally and I don't see any import errors. It also means that an outdated
package might override the one being distributed and cause other problems.

    Isolated mode also means global environment variables and registry
entries will be ignored

## The trouble with isolated mode
    Isolated mode also prevents the current working directory (cwd) from
being added to `sys.path`. `sys.path` is the list of directories python will
search in for imports. In non-isolated mode this is automatically populated
with the cwd, `site-packages`, the directory of the python executable, etc.

# How to get the cwd into sys.path in isolated mode
    The hack to get this to work is to use a .pth file. Normally, these files
are just an additional list of directories to be added to `sys.path`.
However, they also allow arbitrary code execution on lines beginning with
`import ` (see https://docs.python.org/3/library/site.html). So, we simply
add `import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '')` to add the cwd to path. `''` is
shorthand for the cwd. See https://bugs.python.org/issue33698#msg318272

# ._pth files in the embedded distribution
A python37._pth file is included in the embedded distribution. The presence
of tis file causes the embedded distribution to always use isolated mode
(which we want). They are like .pth files, except they do not allow the
arbitrary code execution trick. In my experimentation, I found that they
prevent .pth files from loading. So the ._pth file will have to be removed
and replaced with a .pth. Isolated mode will have to be specified manually.
