PYTHONPATH Manager lockout

[DDT-1of1]

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Enter a path to site packages causes error message indicating NO LONGER ALLOWED for that use.

NOTE: VISA MODULE not found basis for error. Same version of Spyder on new PC as an older PC that DOES allow entry in PYTHONPATH Manager. Yet new installation has crippled use of Python path manager. SO WHY is Spyder version the SAME? Console allows loading the desired module so I KNOW the Windows configuration is correct enough for Spyder to work EXCEPT A CODE CHANGE that does not allow PYTHONPATH manager to accept input. Horrible violation of version control! Install conda compliant Python is not allowed by Company. Forcing me to NOT USE Spyder. What a shame I now have to use Visual Studio. Thanks for making great tool than I now cannot use.
