All of the manage.py utilities, including the development server, take your default Python path and appends the directory of your Django project, so that you can test things in a sandboxed location without having to mess around with your Python path. Other Python modules you want to use outside of your project directory (and your Django project, if you're not using the manage.py utilities) need to be on your Python path so Python can find them; you can do this by installing third-party modules and applications into a location that's already on your Python path, or by altering your Python path to include a directory where you'll be installing things. For example, on my MacBook, I install a lot of things into a 'python-local' directory inside my home directory; this line in my .bashrc and .bash_profile files makes sure it shows up on my Python path: export PYTHONPATH = /Users/jbennett/python-local:$PYTHONPATH -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
