At the command line, run: echo $PATH to see the path. I'm not sure where OS X sets the PATH, but Linux systems normally set them in /etc/profile. User-customisations should go in a shell rc file, e.g. if you are using bash, edit ~/.bashrc. To add additional paths to the PATH: export $PATH=$PATH:/some/directory:/another/directory To replace the system path completely: export $PATH=/some/directory:/another/directory -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
