14384	Installation documentation should avoid sys.path.append	monokrome	Greg Wogan-Browne	"Using Apache's mod_wsgi implementation (and I'm sure some others), there are cases where sys.path.append will add redundant items to the system path. The mod_wsgi documentation requests that, instead, developers use the following in order to avoid these redundancies:

{{{
import sys
path = '/usr/local/wsgi/modules'
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)
}}}
