Python at compile - possible to add to PYTHONPATH

[rh0dium]

Hi all,

Can anyone help me out. I would like to have python automatically look
in a path for modules similar to editing the PYTHONPATH but do it at
compile time so every user doesn't have to do this..

Soo...

I want to add /foo/bar to the PYTHONPATH build so I don't have to add
it later on. Is there a way to do this?

../configure ??

../configure --help doesn't help..


Thanks

You don't need to recompile python. Just change sys.path before all
import statements.

If i understand correctly, you want to add a directory to your
PYTHONPATH for a specific script without modifying the system PYTHONPATH
global variable ...

To import the Gazonk() class defined in /foo/bar/baz.py without adding
/foo/bar to PYTHONPATH you can try this:

###

import sys
sys.path.append ('/foo/bar')

import baz
quux = baz.Gazonk()

###

hope it helped ...

Hi all,

Thanks for the response. Yeah that's what I'm currently doing but I
thought that it would be cleaner for me to append my own location at
compile time. I'm surprised that this doesn't exist..

Thanks.
