The file test.py is in I:\Python25\MyCode,
if I enter:
C:\>Python25\MyCode\python25 test.py at the DOS prompt, everything works

I would expect.
However when I enter the same command from any other directory I get this
error:
C:\>python test.py
python: can't open file 'test.py' : [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I've set the environment variable pythonpath as
C:\>set pythonpath = C:\\Python25\\MyCode
what am I doing wrong,
Thank u for your help,

You need to give the full path to your test.py file.
PYTHONPATH sets the python library search path.
Thank you Tim,
Definitively C:\python \python25\mycode\test.py does work. If you're right
about having to give the full path, and I suspect you are, Then this means
that python knows to search the currennt working directory for the file to
execute, but nowhere else. It seems a strange behavior. Maybe this is on Mr.
Guido van Rossum todo list.
Why is that strange? Would you expect any other program not on the
path to execute without a fully qualified path? Make your python code
executable, and put it somewhere on the path and I'm quite sure it
would run as expected (though it has been over 10 years since I last
had to work on a Windows box so I'm not quite sure how to do that).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes Tim, but both PATH and PYTHONPATH are set to \python25 and
\python25\MyCode, so I don't understand why python searches the CWD but neither
the path nor pythonpath directories.
