How does one arrange so "the top level directory _can_ be found within
Python's path."?
Thank you, Alan, Martin, Ben and Steve.
I'm a long way from distributing packages! Rather I'm simply
writing scripts for personal use and would like to do it using
Test Driven Development- hence my wish to be able to reference
modules within my development directory.
I've been able to satisfy my needs by adding
export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH:+$PYTHONPATH:}/home/alex/Py"
to the end of my ~/.bashrc
although use of a setup.py file is probably the more 'pythonic'
way of doing it. From my reading so far [1] it's not clear to
me exactly how this works but a bit of experimentation might
rectify that.
Again, thank you.
Alex
