Nothing in my boot sequence sets or unsets PythonUser$Path.
PythonUser3$Dir is set, but not Path.

This is as in the Python-Core_0/0/2-1_a zip file as downloaded &
installed by Packman.  

Note the !!pythonUser.!Boot also  calls !PathAdd which adds
PythonUser:Scripts.,PythonSite:Scripts.,Python3:Scripts.
to Run$Path if not already there ... even though PythonUser: path has
NOT been set!

What should be setting PythonUser$Path ?
