Hi,

I think Spyder declares and uses its own PYTHONPATH. You can see what you have in it going to:

Tools > PYTHONPATH manager

Glad to hear everything worked after all for you.

Cheers,
Carlos

It seems the console(s) found the code after all.
Although my console working directory is not currently the same as my testlib folder, the consoles auto-magically started showing the class members and functions in autocomplete etc. I did a number of trials before my first post where I'd change the working directory and it would only work if I was in the same dir as testlib. However, now it doesn't matter, it always works. I'm guessing Spyder just takes a while for this type of code inspection? Seemed like it was just doing it in the background since it started loading and doing autocomplete correctly a few hours later (I didn't check every minute so I don't know exactly when the references were found). Too bad it doesn't give you any indication of what it is doing. I spent a lot of time debugging packages and paths thinking I had done something wrong.

    'seen' from the interpreter. I.e: IPython has autocomplete for all
    sub-items, and python can make all the calls etc.

    The consoles in Spyder (Python or IPython) take no time at all
    during this same import, but there is nothing there at all either.
     The consoles in spyder can only do the correct loading and
    auto-completion if I do the import AFTER setting the console's
    working folder to match the dir where testlib is located.
    Oddly enough, I have the codeeditor set to include testlib in
    it's ROPE_PREFS and the editor 'see's all the sub functions and
    scripts as well - no dir navigation is needed.

    Any ideas of why I don't have the same inspection on the spyder
    consoles unless I set the working path to match the lib?  I'm not
    always working from there - that is why I go to the trouble of
    setting PYTHONPATH on all our PC's.
    Is there an equivalent ROPE_PREFS type thing I need to change in
    the spyder code for the consoles that run within it?
