Category: Windows Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Alexander Belchenko (bialix) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: PYTHONPATH is not working Initial Comment: When I run python for interpreting script in form: > python somescript.py I got error: python: can't open file 'somescript.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I set environment variable PYTHONPATH to 'C:\Python24\Scripts'. In directory C:\Python24\Scripts I place script 'hello.py' with content: print 'Hello' This script simply prints 'Hello' word on the screen. When I run script with command: > python c:\python24\scripts\hello.py all works right and prints 'Hello'. When I run script with command 'python hello.py' I have above mentioned error: C:\>python hello.py python: can't open file 'hello.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I check that this directory appear in sys.path when invoking python in interpreter session: C:\>python Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.path ['', 'C:\Python24\Scripts', 'C:\Python24', 'C:\WINNT\system32\python24.zip ', 'C:\', 'C:\Python24\DLLs', 'C:\Python24\lib', 'C:\Python24\lib\plat-w in', 'C:\Python24\lib\lib-tk', 'C:\Python24\lib\site-packages', 'C:\Pytho n24\lib\site-packages\win32', 'C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\win32\lib', 'C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin'] >>> import hello Hello >>> As you see sys.path contain path to directory 'C:\Python24\Scripts' but nevertheless I cannot run my script hello.py simply type 'python hello.py' Changing of case of chars in string 'C:\Python24\Scripts' did not solved problem. This error has been reproduced on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1, Windows 98 SE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: George Yoshida (quiver) Date: 2005-04-02 02:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=671362 PYTHONPATH is a path to search for modules, not a path to search for executable programs like PATH. If PATH variable contains a path to where hello.py is located, c:\> hello.py should work. Please read the tutorial about PYTHONPATH. http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1174795&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
