PyEdit in Programming Python 2nd ed

[Laura Lewin]

Hi,
As described in the book and CD's Examples\README-root.txt file, PYTHONPATH 
should include the directory that _contains_ the PP2E root directory, not 
PP2E 
itself.  Moreover, the directory that contains the PP2E directory copy must 
also include a file named __init__.py, because it is a package directory.  
That file can be empty, but it is required in PP2E's parent.  (The PP2E root 
directory is a Python modules package).

Cross-directory imports in book examples are always relative to the PP2E 
root.
 PyEdit, for example, says this to load menu/toolbar maker tools from 
elsewhere
in the examples directory tree:

    from PP2E.Gui.Tools.guimaker import *

So, the directory containing PP2E must be a package too, and should look 
like 
the top-level Examples directory on the CD.  In your case, if PP2E is copied 
from the CD to C:\PP2E, then two things probably need to be fixed:
 
1) The C: directory must be added to PYTHONPATH, not C:\PP2E
2) A C:\__init__.py file must exist, even if it's simply empty
 
If this still doesn't fix the problem, then perhaps the PyEdit source files 
have been altered locally. (Can you run PyEdit directly?)
