Hello community: I post this because I could not find satisfactory answers in the posts generated by this nice group. I work on winXP. I have many little python applications in different folders, each application can share or not other objects located in the same or other folders. The way I work to use these applications is: 1) For almost everyone, I execute a corresponding ".bat file" into which I define and/or include values for some "temporal" environment variables that let me find all the objects that the selected application uses. Sometimes I include in the .bat file the execution of the application, but generally I leave in a prompt status, ready to invoke python or some dos commands. 2) When I close the command prompt window, there are no traces of my enviroment variables in my windows system (that is right). Only the default windows environment variables remain.
I tried to do the same with the IDLE (and I imagine tha same occurs with Python command line), but I have the next problem: I can not find in IDLE (or another app?) the way to previously define and/or include automatically values for my "temporal" environment variables as I do in the .bat files. The use of Control Panel -> System -> Advanced is tedious to use as, my enviroment variables values are "temporal". Any advice, please??? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
