sys.path had a '..' at the end, but did not have a ''. The '..' probably came
from line 19 of CGIWrapper. Here is the path as displayed by CGIWrapper at the
import failure. (Note that I have Python 2.1 in the Python20 directory; I was
running Microsoft PWS and it insisted I keep the Python20 directory name.)
['c:\\PYTHON20\\WEBWARE\\CGIWRA~1', 'c:\\python20\\win32',
'c:\\python20\\win32\\lib', 'c:\\python20\\pythonwin', 'c:\\python20',
'c:\\python20\\dlls', 'c:\\python20\\lib', 'c:\\python20\\lib\\plat-win',
'c:\\python20\\lib\\lib-tk', 'c:\\python20\\mysql', 'c:\\python20\\pil',
'c:\\python20\\ppm', '..']
A curiosity is the above does not have my pythonpath(s) from autoexec.bat
included:
SET PYTHONPATH=C:\$JWORK\PYTHON;c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ASSP
Changing my previous CGIWrapper modification to append a '' at the end of
sys.path instead of the full path name works as you expected.
For the record, the interactive window in a fresh copy of PythonWin gives me a
'' at the beginning and no '..'.
>>> sys.path
['', 'c:\\$jwork\\python', 'c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\assp', 'c:\\python20\\win32',
'c:\\python20\\win32\\lib', 'c:\\python20\\pythonwin', 'c:\\python20',
'c:\\python20\\dlls', 'c:\\python20\\lib', 'c:\\python20\\lib\\plat-win',
'c:\\python20\\lib\\lib-tk', 'c:\\python20\\mysql', 'c:\\python20\\pil',
'c:\\python20\\ppm']
>>>
And a fresh run of Idle has neither '' nor '..':
Python 2.1 (#15, Apr 19 2001, 10:28:27) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IDLE 0.8 -- press F1 for help
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['C:\\Python20', 'C:\\PYTHON20\\Tools\\idle', 'c:\\$jwork\\python',
'c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\assp', 'c:\\python20\\win32',
'c:\\python20\\win32\\lib', 'c:\\python20\\pythonwin', 'c:\\python20',
'c:\\python20\\dlls', 'c:\\python20\\lib', 'c:\\python20\\lib\\plat-win',
'c:\\python20\\lib\\lib-tk', 'c:\\python20\\mysql', 'c:\\python20\\pil',
'c:\\python20\\ppm']
>>>
Finally, saving sys.path from a Python script run from a DOS window also has
neither '' nor '.', but it did insert my script location (c:/$jwork/python)
into the beginning of sys.path. The second and third entries are from my ' set
pythonpath' statement. If I execute the script using backslashes instead of
forward slashes, the first entry is the same as the second.
['c:/$jwork/python', 'c:\\$jwork\\python', 'c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\assp',
'c:\\python20\\win32', 'c:\\python20\\win32\\lib', 'c:\\python20\\pythonwin',
'c:\\python20', 'c:\\python20\\dlls', 'c:\\python20\\lib',
'c:\\python20\\lib\\plat-win', 'c:\\python20\\lib\\lib-tk',
'c:\\python20\\mysql', 'c:\\python20\\pil', 'c:\\python20\\ppm']
Based upon the above, there seems to be a lot of inconsistancy. I think
CGIWrapper should be changed to append or insert the '' as my import statements
were working under PWS and Apache. I am not sure my placement makes sense, as
it would happen only if the current working directory is changed. I am also
confused about the missing paths from my 'set pythonpath' statement.
