A path configuration file is a file whose name has the form
\file{\var{package}.pth}; its contents are additional items (one
per line) to be added to \code{sys.path}. Non-existing items are
never added to \code{sys.path}, but no check is made that the item
refers to a directory (rather than a file). No item is added to
\code{sys.path} more than once. Blank lines and lines beginning with
\code{\#} are skipped.
