So, for example, in a bash/sh shell, you'd say:

export PYTHONPATH="/path/to/my/modules"


And you can add multiple directories by separating them with colons:

export 
PYTHONPATH="/path/to/my/modules:/path/to/more/modules:/path/ytoyet/more"

You set the variable in your system's environment, which is
platform-dependent.  For Linux, you'd typically put a line
in your ~/.profile or ~/.cshrc or ~/.login or ~/.bashrc or
whatever your shell uses per your account set up.  

So, for example, in a bash/sh shell, you'd say:

export PYTHONPATH="/path/to/my/modules"

or for csh:

setenv PYTHONPATH "/path/to/my/modules"

Then starting the next time you log in, that will be set
in your environment for you.

[Tutor] PYTHONPATH-corrected

2009-06-30 Thread Bob Rea 
In working my way through the book on python, I am working 
in directories for chapers. Now I am on modules, and some 
are reused in later chapters. I have set up a directory for 
the modules. How do I add it to my PYTHONPATH?
I can use sys.path.append but that only lasts for the 
session.

This is on a suse linux 10 box
