[Tutor] sys.path.append issues with cgi

[Gabriel Farrell]

Hello all,

I'm trying to modify the sys.path in my cgi scripts to import modules
that I've installed in my home directory.  The top of the script reads
as follows:


#!/usr/local/bin/python

import cgi, sys
sys.path.append('/net/u/16/g/gsf/lib/python2.4/site-packages')
from ElementTree import Element, SubElement, tostring


But my traceback reads:

ImportError: No module named ElementTree


The appended path is the same I've added to my PYTHONPATH variable and
it works fine from the python interactive prompt.  I thought it might
be a permissions issue since it's a cgi script so I chmodded
everything up to the ElementTree directory 755 but still no luck.

TIA,
gabe
