Python's documentation (http://docs.python.org/install/ index.html#modifying-python-s-search-path) states that we can add more locations to python's module search path by "add a path configuration file to a directory that’s already on Python’s path, usually to the .../site-packages/ directory"
sys.path for my Python installation show the following >>> sys.path ['', 'C:\\WINNT\\system32\\python26.zip', 'c:\\python26\\DLLs', 'c:\ \python26\\lib', 'c:\\python26\\lib\\plat-win', 'c:\\python26\\lib\ \lib-tk', 'c:\\python26', 'c:\\python26\\lib\\site-packages'] I tried appending certain location by putting a .pth file in all of the above locations, but it gets appended only when the .pth file is present in 'c:\\python26\\lib\\site-packages' or 'c:\\python26', but according to the documentation it should work for all of the above locations. Any ideas?? I'm running Python 2.6.4 on WinXP -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
