What is the .pth file removal step?

2. Remove .pth file to work around https://bugs.python.org/issue34841

says that a .pth file is being removed during update_python.py run.

I can't find a .pth file being deleted anywhere, and I wonder if that is something leftover?

I think those instruction should have been updated in #1001 when I switched from the "embedded" windows dist to the nuget version. I don't think that step is needed anymore.

Gotcha, I'll clean up that comment.

I do see there is a Lib\site-packages\pywin32.pth that does get added after I do pip install pywin32. I wonder if I should delete that path file, or keep it around?

hmm, I'll keep that around for now, we can see if it will cause issues in future. (that python "notabug" issue is a bit weird to read)
