Where python looks for path

[Philippe Martin]

Hi,

I am currently packaging python and a few libraries: PyWin32, PySerial, PIL,
wxPython, HTML generator, numarray for U3 distribution.

Basically that means that the complete system initially in $path1\host will
be moved dynamically to $path2\at execution.


To take PIL as an example, I notice when I launch Idle in a "relative"
manner: I am in $path1\host that $path1\host\Lib \site-packages\PIL is in
the sys.path before I do anything.

I notice that there is a PIL.pch file in site-packages:

Q1) is that read by python ?


On the other hand, even after appending all I can think of in sys.path, I
still get an error (cannot find module) trying to load win32com.client : it
fails in the win32api import in win32com.client .

pywin32.pch is there.

I think all the .dlls are there also, so I'm a bit confused.

Q2) what should I be looking for ?


Also, I seemed to notice in the past that modules (my own) not listed in any
__init__.py where found under Linux but not Windows for which I had to
upgrade my __init__.py.


Q3: is that true ?


Regards,

Philippe

PS: I forgot to say that on the win32api import I get a "DLL load failed"

Re: Where python looks for path

Hi,

I had to move the dlls from pywin32_system3 2 to where python.exe is.

PS: if someone has a great desire to have another library included in the
package, let me know.

Regards,

Philippe
