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.

You can have a local sitecustomize.py in the current directory, which wouldn't change the Python installation. Would that help?

As far as I can tell, the current directory isn't added to the sys.path until after site.py executes, so I don't believe you can rely on .pth files to do anything like what you want. Sitecustomize.py is it, with appropriate smarts inside.
