could you please file a wishlist bug on this item so we don't forget?

I'm not sure that I'd want it to be the default %run behavior to
search all of PYTHONPATH, but certainly it could be available as:

- an optional flag to run
- a separate magic that does the searching and calls %run with the full path
- a option to toggle this on/off for %run, so users who want it can
activate it, aware that they will be running non-local scripts.

Which of these to use, I'm not sure about yet.  But we can discuss it
further to find a solution, and implement it after Brian's refactoring
lands.

Cheers,

Hello Fernando,

I hope that people haven't forgotten about this request.

Phillip

P.S. I haven't been able to file a wishlist bug; when I try to log in to the
LaunchPad, I get the following error message: "Cross Site Request Forgery
detected. Request aborted."
