Re: .pth files in working directory

Not sure from the above description exactly what it is you want, 

I want a tree

top/

    sub1/
        __init__.py
        mod1.py
    sub2/
        mod2.py

where I can do "from sub1 import mod1" in mod2.py no matter what the
absolute path of top is. To achieve this I start install.py once to
retrieve the absolute dir of itself (= abspath of top/) and creates
..pth files with its absolute dir in every subdirectory.

generally such non-standard sys.path and .pth manipulations are best handled by a sitecustomize.py file, possibly which makes its own calls to site.addsitedir() and such. Try "help(site)" for more. 

But sitecustomize.py changes the Python installation, doesn't it?
This wouldn't be an advantage over putting a .pth file into
..../site-packages.
