# This file becomes paths.py which is installed in may directories.  By
# importing this module, sys.path gets `hacked' so that the $prefix/Mailman
# directory is inserted at the start of that list.  That directory really
# contains the Mailman modules in package form.  This file exports two
# attributes that other modules may use to get the absolute path to the
# installed Mailman distribution.

if exec_prefix == '${prefix}':

# Hack the path to include the parent directory of the $prefix/Mailman package
# directory.
sys.path.insert(0, prefix)

# We also need the pythonlib directory on the path to pick up any overrides of
# standard modules and packages.  Note that these must go at the front of the
# path for this reason.
