Python Path Setting

Hello,

I'm trying to find some detailed documentation about
PYTHONPATH, paths.pth, lib/site-packages, sitecustomise and so on. I
know what they do but I'd like some detailed documentation about what
gets loaded where and when. However I can't find the documentation on
this.

Googling for 'python PYTHONPATH' give me a bunch of stuff about
setting the pythonpath for a specific app or about pythonpath itself but
not the whole range of options as detailed above.

However, I'd like more documentation about search paths, module
loading and the like - does anyone know where I can find this?

Cheers,

Neil
