[Pythonmac-SIG] Can't get re-installed python to recognize old paths.
After a lot of hair pulling (long story) I re-installed OS X 10.3 (archive and install) and then upgraded to 10.3.9. Python seems to work and other problems seem to be gone, but when I try to import my original modules it can't find them. I looked in the folder .MacOSX and see that Enviroment.plist is still there and it has the original paths that once worked (two weeks ago). Here it is: * http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> PYTHONPATH /users/louispecora/Code/python/general:/users/louispecora/Code/python/stats:/users/louispecora/Code/python/stats/BayesProb:/users/louispecora/Code/python/time_series:/users/louispecora/Code/python/plotwindow:/Library/Python/2.3/:/users/louispecora/Code/AddedPackagesfiles/: *So I'm stumped as to why Python can't find modules in the folders listed in Enviroment.plist. I haven't changed any folder names. I seem to remember only needing to mess with Enviroment.plist to establish paths. Am I forgetting something? Thanks for any ideas. Thanks also to Bob I. and Robert Kern for their patience as I try to bring my system back to health and get python up and running. -- Cheers, Lou Pecora Code 6362 Naval Research Lab Washington, DC 20375 USA Ph: +202-767-6002 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

Here it is: Can't say much about setting PYTHONPATH, but an option you should consider is to make a .pth file in your site-packages directory that lists all of these directories, one per line. For example: # mystuff.pth /users/louispecora/Code/python/general /users/louispecora/Code/python/stats /users/louispecora/Code/python/stats/BayesProb /users/louispecora/Code/python/time_series /users/louispecora/Code/python/plotwindow /users/louispecora/Code/AddedPackagesfiles -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

Here it is: The first rule of PYTHONPATH is that you shouldn't use PYTHONPATH. Use pth files instead. Anyway, did you forget to logout after changing Environment.plist? -bob ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
