I don't know if this is sensible, but here is what I do. I use virtualenvs. By default I keep these in ~/var/venv. Here's my local MacOS: % ls -la ~/var/venv/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 9 cameron cameron 288 1 Mar 19:47 . drwx--S--- 41 cameron cameron 1312 24 Jul 08:27 .. lrwxrwxr-x 1 cameron cameron14 1 Mar 19:47 3 -> 3.9.2-homebrew drwxrwxr-x 8 cameron cameron 256 14 Jun 2020 3.7.7-homebrew drwxrwxr-x 6 cameron cameron 192 16 Aug 2020 3.8.5-hggit drwxrwxr-x 8 cameron cameron 256 23 Jul 2020 3.8.5-homebrew drwxrwxr-x 8 cameron cameron 256 21 Nov 2020 3.8.6-homebrew drwxrwxr-x 8 cameron cameron 256 28 Dec 2020 3.9.1_2-homebrew drwxrwxr-x 9 cameron cameron 288 26 May 15:17 3.9.2-homebrew I get my default Pythons from homebrew (again, because I'm on a Mac). So the Python came this way: % brew install python@3.9 and the virtualenv got made like this: % python3.9 -m venv ~/var/venv/3.9.2-homebrew giving it a nice detailed directory name. I keep the convenience symlink "3" pointing at the preferred venv (usually the latest). Then I have ~/var/venv/3/bin in my $PATH. With that near the front of $PATH so that "python3" and "pip3" come from there, modules are installed with pip3, eg: % pip3 install cs.upd They land in the venv, and "python3" (which comes from the venv) knows to find them automatically. Almost everything I use comes either from pip or from my own modules. My $PYTHONPATH on the Mac has this: /Users/cameron/lib/python:/Users/cameron/rc/python being, respectively, my personal modules and a place for third party modules which do not come from pip. That latter is an empty set, but it's there. I doubt you'd need to bother with the latter; I doubt I need to either. Cheers, Cameron Simpson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Where to keep local Python modules?
This isn't a question about how to set PYTHONPATH so that Python code can find imported modules, it's about what is a sensible layout for one's home directory - i.e. where to put Python modules. I'm running Linux and have a number of Python modules that are only used by my own code. My top level Python code is all in ~/bin. I'd prefer to separate the modules so that they don't clutter the name space. Currently I have my Python modules in a subdirectory of ~/bin and my Python path is set as:- PYTHONPATH=/home/chris/bin/pymods Is this a reasonable approach? Is there a 'standard' name for the directory containing modules, or a standard place for it? (I don't mean a system-wide standard place, I mean a 'my' standard place). -- Chris Green · -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
