In /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages I wrote a file tau4.pth. It contains
the line
/home/poseidon/tau4/swr/py3/src
In /home/poseidon/tau4/swr/py3/src there's an __init__.py file, so it
should be possible to write
import tau4
in my programs. But it isn't. Despite the fact that
/home/poseidon/tau4/swr/py3/src is in sys.path, I get a ModuleNotFoundError.
It works, if I set a symlink to /home/poseidon/tau4/swr/py3/src in the
site-packages dir:
ln -s /home/poseidon/tau4/swr/py3/src /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tau4
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/site.html suggests that PTH files
only work relative to the site-packages dir. But digging around in e.g.
StackOverflow I got the impression that absolute paths should work as
well. If so, what am I doing wrong?
I'm on Arch Linux, Python 3.6.
Kind regards
Paul
