triple: module; search; path
single: path (in module sys)
Return the default module search path; this is computed from the program name
(set by :cfunc:`Py_SetProgramName` above) and some environment variables. The
returned string consists of a series of directory names separated by a platform
dependent delimiter character. The delimiter character is ``':'`` on Unix and
Mac OS X, ``';'`` on Windows. The returned string points into static storage;
the caller should not modify its value. The value is available to Python code
as the list ``sys.path``, which may be modified to change the future search path
for loaded modules.
