Request: put included pythonista modules into site-packages

briarfox

It would be great if the included third party modules defaulted into site-packages. This would allow the user to update to a more recent version. In order to use a recent version or fix a bug in a included module, the updated module must be added to the front of sys.path on each load of python.

I had to do this in pythonista 1.4 with bottle due to a bug. In 1.5 I have to do this to paramiko which still has a bug in the current release.

Allowing the user to update them would be great!

Maybe putting the user site-packages first in the default import path would be enough?

@omz that would do the trick.
