Adding a directory to the Python System Path - Edit the registry?

[redefined.horizons@gmail.com]

I have been trying to find a way to add a directory to Python's sytem
path on my MS Windows XP computer. I did some searching online, but the
only solution I found involved editing the MS Windows Registry. That
seemed a little to hard core. Is there another easier way to do this?

Thanks,

Scott Huey

Take a look at:

http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html

Specifically 6.1.1 and 6.2, perhaps that might answer your question.

Cheers

There is a file you can use to extend your system path on my windows box
it is here:
C:\Python24\Lib \site-packages\packag e.pth

Inside the package.pth I have added:
C:\\QA\\bin
I think I needed to do this in linux as well (and it worked).
Find your installation path to ../Lib/site-packages and if that file
does not exist create it and add your paths in their own lines no
separators needed.
