Where is the fault in my reasoning here? 1) According to http://docs.python.org/dev/install/, "The most convenient way is to add a path configuration file to a directory that’s already on Python’s path, (...).
2) Path configuration files have an extension of .pth, (...)" 1&2 => 3) A file test.pth with the content "/example/" should result in sys.path containing "/example/". 4) "" (the current directory) is the first element of my sys.path 1&4 => 5) The current directory qualifies for "a directory that’s already on Python’s path," 1&3&5 => 6) echo /example/ > test.pth; python -c 'import sys;print(repr(sys.path))' should contain '/example'. I think I misinterpreted the documentation, but what exactly is wrong here? Regards, Philipp
