Hi everyone,
I have two problems:
1. How can I keep my changes in sys.path after closing the interpreter?
Saving sys.path changes between interpreter runs would be more involved.
On Windows Python loads the initial module search path from the registry.
Python's registry entries are made during installation and are left alone
afterwards. Changing these entries is probably not a good idea. But
if you need sys.path persistence I can try writing an example that does
it automatically using the atexit module and a history file.
Not only can one modify the environment variable PYTHONPATH, but one can also use a .pth file. Under windows, when the interpreter starts up it will search its default sys.path for any files with extension .pth; if it finds any, then it will use each line of those files as a directory to add to sys.path. Thus, if you drop a mymodule.pth file in site-packages, which contains a list of the directories you're interested in, sys.path will automatically be amended for you every time Python starts.
