To completely override :data:`sys.path`, create a ``._pth`` file with the same
-name as the DLL (``python36._pth``) or the executable (``python._pth``) and
+name as the DLL (``python37._pth``) or the executable (``python._pth``) and
specify one line for each path to add to :data:`sys.path`. The file based on the
DLL name overrides the one based on the executable, which allows paths to be
restricted for any program loading the runtime if desired.

Note that ``.pth`` files (without leading underscore) will be processed normally
-by the :mod:`site` module.
+by the :mod:`site` module when ``import site`` has been specified.
When no ``._pth`` file is found, this is how :data:`sys.path` is populated on
Windows:
environment variables, and also ignore :mod:`site` unless ``import site`` is
listed.

When extracted, the embedded distribution is (almost) fully isolated from the
user's system, including environment variables, system registry settings, and
installed packages. The standard library is included as pre-compiled and

``python.exe`` and ``pythonw.exe`` are all provided. Tcl/tk (including all
dependants, such as Idle), pip and the Python documentation are not included.
