PyPy doesn't seem to handle PYTHONPATH the same way Python does. Consider this:
% echo $PWD:$PYTHONPATH /home/skipm/src/git/models/lenin:/home/skipm/src/tl_v11/prefix/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/opt/TWWfsw/libgtk+222/lib/python27/gtk-2.0 Now, run Python with that set as PYTHONPATH and see where directories land. I've trimmed out all the other elements which don't matter. Note that /home/skipm/src/tl_v11/prefix/lib/python2.7/site-packages appears in sys.path ahead of /opt/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages hornet% PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH python Python 2.7.2 (default, Nov 14 2012, 05:07:35) [GCC 4.4.6 [TWW]] on linux3 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.path [..., '/home/skipm/src/tl_v11/prefix/lib/python2.7/site-packages', ..., '/opt/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages', ...] Now, try the same experiment with PyPy. The relative order of those two directories is reversed: hornet% PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH pypy Python 2.7.3 (5acfe049a5b0cd0de158f62553a98f5ef364fd29, Jun 28 2013, 15:39:43) [PyPy 2.0.2] on linux3 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. And now for something completely different: ``"there should be one and only one obvious way to do it". PyPy variant: "there can be N half-buggy ways to do it"'' >>>> import sys >>>> sys.path [..., '/opt/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages', ..., '/home/skipm/src/tl_v11/prefix/lib/python2.7/site-packages', ...] They each hold the copies of the internal development platform I work on. Since I am actively developing software using that platform, I prefer to have my development version ahead of our production install. Is there a way to make that work?
