I'm missing something major here. I'm trying to add a directory to my
python path using the PYTHONPATH environment variable, and it's being
ignored by the Python interactive shell.
Below is a capture of what I did. Note that my newfolder appears
nowhere on the list of directories in sys.path. How do I get Python
to pay attention to my shell variables?
Using bash on OS X 10.4.10.

Use
export PYTHONPATH=....
to pass environment vars to subprocesses.
Basic unix shell knowledge :)
$ man bash
....
export -p
The supplied names are marked for automatic export to
the envi-
ronment of subsequently executed commands. If the -f
option is
given, the names refer to functions. If no names are
given, or
if the -p option is supplied, a list of all names
that are
exported in this shell is printed. The -n option
causes the
export property to be removed from the named variables.
export
returns an exit status of 0 unless an invalid option is
encoun-
tered, one of the names is not a valid shell variable
name, or
-f is supplied with a name that is not a function.

Try
export PYTHONPATH=/Users/user/newfolder
Otherwise (without 'export') the variable is defined in the shell but
not passed on when you launch python.

export PYTHONPATH

Thanks all - I'm recently back to using Unix (Mac) after 5 years of
being on a PC. I guess I thought export was just another way of doing
assignment. My bad.
