Hi all,<br><br>I recently updated os x from python 2.4 to 2.5 (from <a target="_blank" href="http://python.org">python.org</a>) and<br>in doing so I lost my old python path entries. Python 2.4 was<br>installed using fink. Now when I do:<br><br>import sys<br>print sys.path<br><br>my old site-packages directory is not within it (the 2.4 one).<br><br>So what is the right thing to do in this situation? It would be a<br>pain to find and re-install each of the packages. Is it ok to add my<br>old site-packages directory to the sys.path? What is the best way to<br>do so (e.g. using .pth files or PYTHONPATH or other)? Is cp'ing the<br>files from one place to another safe or advisable?<br><br>Any help on best practices appreciated.<br><br>James.<br>--<br><a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list" target="_blank">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list</a><br></div></div></div><br>
