[Tutor] How to change the working directory in IDLE

2009-06-16 Thread Elisha Rosensweig 
Hi Tutors,

Im using Python 2.6.2 and the IDLE tool (also v. 2.6.2). However, when I
open the editor I cannot seem to change the directory so as to allow for
easy access to my modules. So, for example, the following occurs:


os.chdir('/Users/elisha/Documents/workspace/CacheNetFramework/src/Tests')
 os.getcwd()
'/Users/elisha/Documents/workspace/CacheNetFramework/src/Tests'
 import CSITest

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File pyshell#9, line 1, in module
import CSITest
ImportError: No module named CSITest


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Elisha

 You probably want to append to sys.path in your script, or to the
 PYTHONPATH environment variable, instead of using os.chdir.

Sorry, 'in your script' should read something like 'in Idle'. Here's
another doc reference.

http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html#tut-standardmodules

 
 import sys
 sys.path.append('/Users/elisha/Documents/workspace/CacheNetFramework/src/Tests')
 
 import CSITest
 
 HTH,
