<p>Sometimes it is desirable to share installed packages that are not in
the system <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">site-pacakges</span></tt> directory and which should not be
installed in each virtualenv.  One possible solution is to symlink the
source into the environment <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">site-packages</span></tt> directory, but it is
also easy to add extra directories to the PYTHONPATH by including them
in a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.pth</span></tt> file inside <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">site-packages</span></tt> using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">add2virtualenv</span></tt>.</p>

<li>A usage message and list of current &#8220;extra&#8221; paths is printed.</li>

<p>The directory names are added to a path file named
