Re: How can I customize builtin module search path to prefix/lib toprefix/lib64?

Hi list,

Is it possible to change module search path (PYTHONPATH) built-in to
Python interpreter?
I thought I can change it with configure --libdir but it didn't work for me.
I also tried patching around python source tree replacing lib to lib64
but it didn't work either.

Adjusting sys.path directly or using environ should do the trick but
I'd rather want to make it the default path for my python

Thanks,
Why not just add a custom path file (*.pth)? EasyInstall, wx, PyWin32
and others do it. Of course there's always sys.path.append as well.

For 64bit python, there's no need to look at lib/lib-dynload because
libraries for 64bit should be in
lib64/lib-dynload. Having module search path which point to libraries
the python can not understand
is, IMHO, wrong.

In addition to that, .pth cannot prepend search path.
All thing it can do is appending to it.
In my case, I have to put lib64 before lib/.
