Sorry if I was unclear, let me try to describe the problem more precisely. I have a library of modules I have written using boost::python. They are all in a directory under my home directory called 'sigproc'. In ~/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages, I have --- sigproc.pth /home/nbecker /home/nbecker/sigproc --- The reason I have 2 here is so I could use either import modA or import sigproc.modA although I almost always just use import modA . Now I have started experimenting with porting to pybind11 to replace boost::python. I am working in a directory called pybind11-test. I built modules there, with the same names as ones in sigproc. What I observed, I believe, is that when I try in that directory, import modA it imported the old one in sigproc, not the new one in "./". This behavior I found surprising. I examined sys.path, and found it did not contain "./". Then I prepended "./" to sys.path and found import modA appeared to correctly import the module in the current directory. I think I want this behavior always, and was asking how to ensure it. Thanks. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
