I've always been running the tests with: $ cd tests $ PYTHONPATH=.. pythonX.Y runtests.py --settings=test_<xxx> It's straightforward and easy to understand: "Python will look for django in the parent directory". If you're just running Django's test suite on a reasonably configured system, you're starting with an empty PYTHONPATH; you don't really need PYTHONPATH=..:$PYTHONPATH. The alternatives are: - either prone to mistakes and side effects (setting a systemwide PYTHONPATH — what if I move my checkout?); - or even more complicated to explain (mkvirtualenv djang && pip install -e .) > It would leave a lot to explain to Windows users (which I note you are still > trying to cater for). If you're using the default options of the git installer on Windows, you're getting a fairly decent environment (MINGW32). It creates a "Git Bash" icon on the desktop, which starts a Bash shell where `git` works. After adding `export PATH=/c/Python27:$PATH` to `~/.bashrc`, `python` also works in that shell. If we tell Windows users to use "Git Bash", we can skip most of the Windows-specific instructions. It's likely to make the tutorial a better experience for them. Otherwise, `set PYTHONPATH=..` works in `cmd.exe`, but I can't recommend `cmd.exe` with a straight face :/ -- Aymeric. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
