Working in virtualenv Client64

[1oglop1]

Is there any functional problem in Client64.py if I switch from sys.getsitepackages() to sys.path?
Because virtualenv manages it's own version of site pypa/virtualenv/#737
Client64.py Line 127:

      # _append_sys_path = site.getsitepackages()
        _append_sys_path = sys.path
        if append_sys_path is not None:
            if isinstance(append_sys_path, str):
                _append_sys_path.append(append_sys_path.strip())
            elif isinstance(append_sys_path, (list, tuple)):
                _append_sys_path.extend(append_sys_path)
            else:
                raise TypeError('append_sys_path must be a str, list or tuple')
        cmd.extend(['--append-sys-path', ';'.join(_append_sys_path).strip()])

I just blindly tried to change it and it worked in my case.

No functional problem at all. The change that you made is perfectly fine.

The primary reason for the --append-sys-path parameter is to make sure that any import statement that is done on the module that is running on the 32-bit server does not raise ImportError.

I found myself doing the same thing often -- passing sys.path from Client64 to Server32 and so I decided to replace site.getsitepackages() with sys.path in the latest release (v0.3.2) to fix this issue.

I cannot remember the original reason why I chose to use site.getsitepackages() anyways.
