Note you should use raw strings r'C:\dump1' or double backslash 'C:\\dump1' because the \ is a string escape character. > but not : > >>>> x = 'C:\dir1' >>>> sys.path.append(x) That should work fine (other than the single \). What happens when you try it? > or : ?? > but not : >>>> x = ['C:\dir1'] >>>> sys.path.append(x) Here you are appending a list of strings to sys.path, that will not do what you want. > Can I append variables to the path, rather than explicit strings ?
