Summary: 1.6b1: PythonPath

Initial Comment:
version: Python 1.6b1
os: Win2k

i added an additional path to the PythonPath registry entry, but python ignores the additional path.

(i used the windows installer, after deinstalling 1.5.2)

I'm not sure this is operator error.  The same thing still 
happens for me using Python 2.2.2.

I am running Windows Me.

I set the python path using the PythonWin GUI first build 
152, then build 150.  If I browsed the python path in the 
pythonwin GUI I could see my modules, but Python would 
not acknowledge it.

I uninstalled everything and stepped back to Python 
1.5.1.  I was able to modify the registry key and it worked.  
I could import modules in python.

I then uninstalled 1.5.1, installed 2.2.2, and modified the 
registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2
.2, which appeared to be the rright place, and then added 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2
.2.2, just in case.

But starting a new version of the python command line,  it 
still could not import my modules until I manually appended 
my directory to sys.path.

(Another observation -- sys.path in python 1.5.1 had my 
custom directory in the middle, even though I had 
appended to the end of the registry value.  sys.path 
seemed much shorter in python 2.2.2)

Can only assume operator error - I use this feature personally, win32all uses it, and ActivePython uses it.  It works!
