5.3.4 paths

5.3.4 `paths`

The aspen.paths object is an instance of aspen._configuration.Paths; it is simply a container for various paths, all normalized and absolute:

root: the website's filesystem root

__: the magic directory

lib: the site's local Python library. First we look for __/lib/python, then for __/lib/pythonx.y, using only the first found

pkg: site-packages under the site's local Python library, __/lib/pythonx.y/site-packages

plat: the local platform-specific Python library, __/lib/plat-x

If there is no magic directory, then __, lib, pkg and plat are all None. If there is, then lib, pkg and plat are added to sys.path.
