My simple epub2 output plugin uses ncxgenerator.py from the python3lib folder to optionally generate a new toc.ncx file from nav.xhtml.
(I know that the Python files in the python3lib folder are not intended for use with plugins, however, some of the functions might actually be helpful in special cases, such as my epub2 output plugin.)
Since I couldn't figure out a good cross-platform method for adding python3lib to sys.path, I simply bundled ncxgenerator.py with my plugin.
Even though I don't think that ncxgenerator.py will be significantly updated in future Sigil versions, I think that it'd be better to add python3lib to sys.path instead of bundling ncxgenerator.py with the plugin.

1. Would it be possible to add python3lib to sys.path in one of the next Sigil versions?

or

2. Is there a robust cross-platform method for adding python3lib to sys.path that I overlooked?
