Hi
I am having a problem in appending to sys.path
I am doing it this way: sys.path
['D:\\PYTHON23', 'D:\\PYTHON23\\ Lib\\idlelib',
'D:\\WINNT\\sys tem32\\python23 .zip',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\Pytho nwin',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\win32 ',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\win32 \\lib',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages', 'D:\\Python23\\ DLLs',
'D:\\Python23\\ lib', 'D:\\Python23\\ lib\\plat-win',
'D:\\Python23\\ lib\\lib-tk', 'D:\\Python23'] sys.path.append (r'D:\Python23\ Lib\site-packages\code')
sys.path
['D:\\PYTHON23', 'D:\\PYTHON23\\ Lib\\idlelib',
'D:\\WINNT\\sys tem32\\python23 .zip',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\Pytho nwin',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\win32 ',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\win32 \\lib',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages', 'D:\\Python23\\ DLLs',
'D:\\Python23\\ lib', 'D:\\Python23\\ lib\\plat-win',
'D:\\Python23\\ lib\\lib-tk', 'D:\\Python23',
'D:\\Python23\\ Lib\\site-packages\\code']
But when I close the shell and now again open it & do sys.path , it
doesnt show the path I last appended. i.e
import sys
sys.path
['D:\\PYTHON23', 'D:\\PYTHON23\\ Lib\\idlelib',
'D:\\WINNT\\sys tem32\\python23 .zip',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\Pytho nwin',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\win32 ',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages\\win32 \\lib',
'D:\\PYTHON23\\ lib\\site-packages', 'D:\\Python23\\ DLLs',
'D:\\Python23\\ lib', 'D:\\Python23\\ lib\\plat-win',
'D:\\Python23\\ lib\\lib-tk', 'D:\\Python23']
What am I doing wrong here?? 3  2272

sys.path changed for the same reason why if you set
a="puke"
in the interpreter and then closed the shell and restarted the
interpreter, the variable a would have no value!!
You are not making a permanent change to sys.path using sys.append!!
I think you really want to modify the PYTHONPATH environment variable,
I'd guess. ke***********@y ahoo.com wrote:

As rabbits77 said, your change is not being persisted. What you
can do instead of using PYTHONPATH, if you wish, is read the header
comment in the file python\lib\site .py (i.e. look in your Python
folder tree for that file) and create a ".pth" file with the appropriate
contents. As you are on Windows, make sure you take care to create it
with a lower-case extension, not .PTH, as site.py is case-sensitive in
this respect.

I'm putting together a small site using Python and cgi.
(I'm pretty new to this, but I've worked a little with
JSP/servlets/Java before.)
Almost all pages on the site will share some common (and
static) html, however, they'll also have dynamic aspects.
I'm guessing that the common way to build sites like this
is to have every page (which contains active content) be
generated by a cgi script, but also have some text files

Out of interest, are there any standard Python modules that do this:
def appendRelativeIncludePath(*relpath):
dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), *relpath))
if not dir in sys.path:
sys.path.append(dir)

Hi all,
when I do >>>sys.path in IDLE (winXP), i get a horrendously long list of
paths, paths I may have used during a lot of trials and errors. How can I
clean up sys.path? I mean, trim it of unnecessary paths?
So far, I know only the command >>>sys.path.append(r'c:....etc...'), but how
to delete or insert at the beginning of the list, I know not.
Thanks,

Before you respond with "just use GetShortPathName" please read the rest.
We have an application that places files on a file server using mapped
drives as it's path of choice. The reason for this is because using a UNC
paths makes the path longer, causing the periodic problem with a path that is
too long (over 260 chars).
We also have an asp.net app that needs to access those files. Accessing
mapped drives from an IIS application is...

So many web sites state that $ENV{‘PATH’} = “/newpath:$ENV{‘ PATH’}”; should append to path.
When I include that in perl code, and echo $PATH afterwards, or just type env, there is no change in $path. ???
Any ideas? Thanks.
