[Tutor] ipython, PYTHONPATH, on a MAC

[John [H2O]]

Hello,

I'm not a Mac user, but I'm a promoter of Python! I have a good friend using
a Mac who's becoming sceptical of python due to frustrations with the
PYTHONPATH. I'm trying to help...

Everything is fine running vanilla python. Importing modules works fine. But
in ipython, the module paths need to be appended individually. I can't even
set a module directory into which ipython will look recursively for modules.

There is nothing custom set in .ipython/ipythonrc or ipy_user_conf.py

The PYTHONPATH variable doesn't need to be set using vanilla python. The
path settings are set somehow, however (I can see this from import sys;
sys.path). I'm not sure where this is all happening.

Any ideas on the best way to set the PYTHONPATH for a mac?

Thanks!
