[tex-live] Missing package in TeX Live

[Geoffrey Poore]

Hi Karl and Akira,

Imports shouldn't be an issue.  Up to now, I and my users have used an
installation script that copies the PythonTeX files into the texmf tree,
creating a standard directory structure and a wrapper/symlink.  Basically,
the installer replicates the configuration of a typical package in TeX
Live.  That system has functioned fine.

Python's sys.path is a list of search paths for imports.  The first
element, sys.path[0], is always the location of the initial script that was
started.  So as long as the main script (pythontex.py) and all the other
scripts are in the same directory, then pythontex.py can always import all
the other code.  The only reason to use kpsewhich would be if the scripts
were in multiple directories.  I actually used kpsewhich at first, until I
realized that sys.path[0] already contained everything I needed.

Let me know if you do encounter any issues with import or self-location,
and I'll find a fix.

Regards,
Geoff Poore
