>>> import sys >>> print (sys.path) returns:
['C:\\Python33\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\Python33\\lib\\site-packages\\pip-1.4-py3.3.egg', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python33.zip', 'C:\\Python33\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python33\\lib', 'C:\\Python33', 'C:\\Python33\\lib\\site-packages'] then if i type: >>> sys.path.append('C:\\Python33\\Lib\\site-packages\\paramiko') and then again.. >>> print (sys.path) returns: ['C:\\Python33\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\Python33\\lib\\site-packages\\pip-1.4-py3.3.egg', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python33.zip', 'C:\\Python33\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python33\\lib', 'C:\\Python33', 'C:\\Python33\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Python33\\Lib\\site-packages\\paramiko'] then if i type: >>> import paramiko i get this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module> import paramiko File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\paramiko\__init__.py", line 64, in <module> from transport import SecurityOptions, Transport File "C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\paramiko\transport.py", line 296 except socket.error, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax ---------------------------------------------- when i close and reopen IDLE, then 'C:\\Python33\\Lib\\site-packages\\paramiko' is getting deleted. If my problem from the first post above has to do something with the path, then what exactly should i do? I would also like to ask here something extra.. :) in system enviroment variables my path contains the following things: C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5;C:\Python33\Scripts\;C:\Python33\;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\paramiko;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\NEST;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared so what exactly is the difference between this path and the above.?
