[PythonCE] My PythonCE Directories

[Michael Murdock]

Hello,

I've been playing around with PythonCE on my WinMobile 2003 Dell Axim.
I have created directory structures that I have tried to render down
below this message. Things seem to work fine with my scripts that use
Tkinter and pysqlite and so I'm a happy camper. But I have the
following questions:

1. Are my 4 directory structures a pretty standard setup?
2. Is my sitecustomize.py script the best way to set up my paths?
3. What do I have to do to move tcl8.4.3 from the root out onto my storage card?

Thanks!

~Michael.

--------------- #1 Python Distribution on Storage Card ------

\
|
Storage Card
|
+- Python
   |
   +- Lib
      |
      +- python.exe
      |
      +- python23.zip
      |
      +- python23.dll, pywintypes.dll and all the other python
distribution files
      |
      +- sitecustomize.py
      |
      +- site-packages (This is where I put other people's scripts
that I import)
         |
         + IdleCE.py
         |
         +- sqlite


------------- #2 Tcl/Tk in Root --------------------
           
\
|
tcl8.4.3
|
+- library
|
+- tk8.4


---------- #3 Various DLLs in Windows ---------------

\
|
Windows
|
+- celib.dll
|
+- tk8.4.dll
|
+- tcl8.4.dll
|
+- sqlite_dll.dll



-------- #4 My scripts Directory ------------

\
|
|
My Documents
|
+- PyScripts
   |
   +- All my own scripts
   
   
This is my sitecustomize.py file:

# ---------------------------------------------------
import sys
sys.path = []
sys.prefix = "\\Storage Card\\Python\\Lib"

sys.path = [sys.prefix, \
            sys.prefix + "\\python23.zip", \
            sys.prefix + "\\python23.zip\\lib-tk", \
            sys.prefix + "\\site-packages", \
            "\\My Documents\\PyScripts"]

# ----------------------------------------------------

Side Note: If I don't manually set sys.prefix then when I fire up
Python and ask for the value of sys.path:

>> import sys
>> sys.prefix

The value returned is: ''

If I do manually set sys.prefix as shown above in the
sitecustomize.py, and then ask for the value of sys.path:

>> import sys
>> sys.prefix

The value returned is: '\\Storage Card\\Python\\Lib'
But I don't know if it matters much what sys.prefix is set to.
