sitetools

This package is responsible for establishing the Python execution environment for Western X. The major tasks it performs are:

setting up uniform logging via Python's standard loggers;
adding "super" site-packages (much like Python's standard site-packages) described by environment variables;
supporting our multi-platform build environment via *.pth files;
resetting os.environ after it is mangled by programs which embed Python (e.g. Maya and Nuke);
monkey-patching some Python bugs in older versions that are in use at Western X.

Read the docs, and good luck!
