What's the best way to ensure this is always true whenever I run python3?
For some definition of "always"...
I don't know about "best", but you can do this:
1. In your .bashrc file, or equivalent, set the environment
variable PYTHONPATH:
export PYTHONPATH='./;$PYTHONPATH'
You want double quotes (allowing parameter substitution) instead of single
quotes here. Or, of course, no quotes at all. And the separator is ":", not
";".
Personally, I'm against hacking the $PYTHONPATH this way at all.
Far better to invoke the Python script via a shell script that includes the
absolute path of the current directory (or the module directory) in the
$PYTHONPATH.
