Hi, I'm trying to add a personal folder to the path used by python in searching for packages and modules. This folder, "C:\docs\utils" , has some packages not yet ready for "site-packages".
First, I tried sys.path.append("C:\docs\utils") BUT this only lasts for the current python session. Then, I read about PYTHONPATH and went to Control Panel - System - Advanced - Enviromental Variables, and created a new variable (PYTHONPATH) containing the folder. However, sys.path does not detects it.. keeps printing the same old files: >>> import sys; import pprint; pprint.pprint(sys.path) ['C:\\Program Files\\AutoHotkey', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python25\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python25.zip', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python25\\DLLs', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python25\\lib', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python25\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python25\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python25', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages'] (By the way, how did that AutoHotkey folder got there? Can I remove it from sys.path?) After my second failure, I went to the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.5\PythonPath and added my folder there. Still nothing on sys.path , and my imports fail. Any suggestions for adding my path to sys.path permanently? I'm running out of ideas Thanks, Sergio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
