Michael R. Bernstein added the comment: The lack of a left-append option for site.addsitedir(path), or an site.insertsitedir(index, path) (which is what I would consider a better solution), causes quite a few contortions on some hosted platforms, notably Google App Engine, for vendored packages.
I've been trying to find a more elegant solution than the following code, but haven't been able to find anything: import os import site import sys dirname = 'lib' dirpath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), dirname) sys.path, remainder = sys.path[:1], sys.path[1:] site.addsitedir(dirpath) sys.path.extend(remainder) And even asked on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25709832/what-is-the-cleanest-way-to-add-a-directory-of-third-party-packages-to-the-begin Having a site.insertsitedir(index, path) available would make things so much simpler. ---------- nosy: +webmaven versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7744> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
