SunOS 5.10, Python 2.4/2.6. Again, please forgive any typos as I am
having to manually enter everything.
I must confess that even though I've asked about similar topics in the
past, I still don't think I'm fully "getting it".
I have a project structure where I am developing various programs,
some in Pinnacle HotScript language, some in Perl, some in Python,
some shell scripts. For the purpose of this question, my simplified
development file structure is:
~/_dev_Scripts
/ScriptMenuSystem
__init__.py
test.py
/py_utilities
__init__.py
test.py
When I am fully happy (Not really! ~(:>)) ) with everything I will
copy everything pertinent from "~_dev_Scripts" into a location like
"/usr/local/.../Scripts/boB_Scripts". So all code must be able to
handle any change in location from where I am developing it. On to my
difficulties ...
ScriptMenuSystem/test.py:
-------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
sys.path.append('..')
import py_utilities.test as t
t.test_print()
-------------------------------------------------
py_utilities/test.py:
-------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
def test_print():
print 'This is module test.py!'
-------------------------------------------------
And when I run the first script from the ScriptMenuSystem location:
> python test.py
This is module test.py!
So, this works, but seems clunky to me. I do not want to set
PYTHONPATH as that would only help me, not the other people who will
be using my programs. I have read of including a .pth file with a
contained list of locations that should be part of the module search
path, but is this the best way for my use case? And can it be written
in such a way that I do not have to edit it when I copy and move the
code to its new location? As I already have these empty __init__.py
files, is there something I can add to these files to solve the
situation and make the project root directory part of the module
search path?
TIA!
