The talk "Python Metaprogramming for Mad Scientists and Evil Geniuses" for PyTexas 2017

The presentation is inside the Jupyter notebook mad_scientists_evil_geniuses.ipynb, which uses RISE.

This work is dedicated to the public domain using Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal.

The two scenarios demonstrate sitecustomize.py. Two use them, try running Python with and without the directory containing a sitecustomize.py in your PYTHONPATH.

For scenario 1, you need to:

1. Copy scenario_1 and scenario_1_test.py someplace.
2. Edit the files to specify two different absolute paths to Python interpreters.
3. Execute scenario_1_test.py with and without sitecustomize.py.

Commands:

./scenario_1_test.py
PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/scenario_1 ./scenario_1_test.py

For scenario 2, you don't have to edit.

./scenario_2_test.py
PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/scenario_2 ./scenario_2_test.py
