python modules in home dir

[dzieciou]

Hello!

I'm new-comer in Python.
I want to install few Python modules (4Suite, RDFLib, Twisted and Racoon)
in my home directory, since Python installation is already installed in the
system
and I'm NOT its admin.
I cannot install pyvm (portable binary python machine) - have no such big
quota.
Any idea how can I solve it?

Best

Re: python modules in home dir

set the PYTHON_PATH to include your home directory

Its correct name is 'PYTHONPATH'.
Under C shell:

setenv PYTHONPATH /home/yourlogin/pythonlibs

Under bourne/bash:

set PYTHONPATH=/home/yourlogin/pythonlibs
export PYTHONPATH

To install 4Suite in the home dir, use an incantation such as:

../setup.py config --prefix=$HOME/lib
../setup.py install

Note: I expect you also installed Python in your home dir?
