feature_request(conflict): global Python packages

1. Summary

If I use in my plugins:

# [NOTE] Currently, “PYTHONPACKAGES” — “C:\Python37”
site_packages = (os.environ['PYTHONPACKAGES'])
if site_packages not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(site_packages)

StGitlab doesn't work for me.

It would be nice, if StGitlab works in this case.

2. Argumentation

See section 2 why I use global Python packages, not own Sublime Text environment for my plugins.

I installed 500+ third-party packages → I run Sublime Text → solely for StGitlab I get traceback in Sublime Text console.

3. Data

Part of my plugin AchtungBitLy.py, that shortify selected links, use pyshorteners.

import os
import sublime_plugin
import sys

# PYTHONPACKAGES path:
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/4907053/5951529
# Disable duplicate paths:
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/42656754/5951529
site_packages = (os.environ['PYTHONPACKAGES'])
if site_packages not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(site_packages)

from pyshorteners import Shortener  # noqa

class TinyUrlCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):

    def run(self, edit):
        # Get selected link
        print('Tiny URL called')
        select = self.view.sel()
        selection_region = select[0]
        selection_text = self.view.substr(selection_region)
        print(selection_text)

        shortener = Shortener('Tinyurl')
        formatted_url = (format(shortener.short(selection_text)))
        print("Short url is {}".format(shortener.short(selection_text)))

        # Replace selected link to Tiny.Url link
        self.view.replace(
            edit, selection_region, formatted_url)

4. Steps to reproduce

I reproduced the problem in a version of Sublime Text without plugins and user settings.

pip install transliterate dimensions terminaltables python-gitlab → I enabled AchtungBitLy.py → I restarted Sublime Text.

5. Expected behavior

If plugin AchtungBitLy.py disabled:

StGitlab successfully works.

6. Actual behavior

Else enabled:

reloading plugin StGitlab.stgitlab
