Thanks to Jon, Piet, David and Dave for the responses.
sys.path gets its values from several places.
Ah, I'd misunderstood the docs: I thought it came from just one place
(which I couldn't find).
Anyway, I'd suggest adding it to PythonPath, and if it's empty, just
create it with the directory you need.
Thanks--that worked!
Be careful, I'm screwed things up on several occasions by placing a file
on PYTHONPATH that overrides a file in the standard library, test.py
being my favourite!
I'm hoping you know you can also add to sys.path directly during
script initialization. It's just a list, and is writeable.
Yes, but I'm mainly playing in IDLE and I was getting a bit fed up of
repeatedly typing
import sys
sys.path.append('C:/Users/Michael/Code/Python')
import mystuff
