[Pythonmac-SIG] Yet another problem with path

[Pascal Bompard]

I see what you are saying. It didn't occur to me that Python would not  
use any of those variables, not even $PYTHONPATH. Thank you for  
pointing that out.

I suppose the next best strategy should be to look into using a  
terminal shortcut to at least make the "cd" to the directory a bit  
less painful.
