Dear all, apologies in advance if this is a typical newbie question: I am struggling somewhat with a sys.path related problem. I have my code packed up as a .egg file and installed on my development machine. The problem is that when I run tests from PyDev it is the installed version that is being used rather than the source code that I want to test.
I naively thought that PyDev would make sure that src/ directory is in my sys.path before anything else I have installed but this does not seem to be the case: --8<-- ['/Users/avoss/bin/springsource/sts-2.6.1.SR1/plugins/org.python.pydev.debug_2.2.2.2011082312/pysrc', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/euca2ools-1.2-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/M2Crypto-0.20.2-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Sphinx-1.0.7-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/docutils-0.7-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Jinja2-2.5.5-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Pygments-1.4-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/elvira-0.1-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pysnmp-4.1.16a-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pycrypto-2.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pyasn1-0.0.13-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/MacFSEvents-0.2.1-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg', '/Users/avoss/Documents/workspace-sts/elvira/src', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python26.zip', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-darwin', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-mac', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/wx-2.8-mac-unicode', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/boto-1.9b-py2.6.egg', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/pysvn', '/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages', '/Users/avoss/Documents/workspace-sts/elvira/src/test/elvira/taskrunner'] --8<-- As you can see, the sys.path contains the place where the PyDev python code lives, followed by stuff I have in my sites-packages directory, then src/ followed by standard modules that come with Pythong and finally the current directory. What's the best way to fix this?
