[Tutor] Lost Modules?

[Jeff Childers]

Hi Gus,

Whew, thanks for the pointer. I'm not so much pulling my hair out now -- it
can be very frustrating to fail at the most simple tasks when trying to
learn a new language. Makes you want to just go back to your old language...
:)  Anyway, onward ho!

Regards (and thanks again),

Jeff

Hello,

 You can set your PYTHONPATH to include whatever directory you're importing
modules from so python knows where to grab them. Assumming you're working
under Win9x, under MS-DOS try typing this:

	set
PYTHONPATH=.,c:\python\lib;c:\python\lib\tkinter;c:\whateverdiryouwant

That should settle your importing problem. If not, let me know:)

Hope this helps,
Gus

Hi Gus,

It seems I needed to learn how to sys.path.append( os.getcwd()). I had been
assuming that by using
os.chdir(dir) Python would find my working files in the os.getcwd()
location. Not so apparently.

Would changing PYTHONPATH include my working directory in the default path?
(with the method above
I have to change it each time I start a new session). How do I find my
PYTHONPATH?

Thanks Gus,

Jeff
