Well, the jury is still deliberating on the specifics, however, as for myself, i would sway more to the /explicit/ side. A few possibilities include: * A configuration file. Python already checks the current directory for ".pth" files, which it then reads and adds the contained paths to sys.path -- most folks stopped typing commands OVER and OVER on the commandline many years ago. But to each his own. * A runtime command or keyword placed in a script (YUCK!) * A commandline switch (only good for members of the python historical society.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
