I want a tree top/ install.py sub1/ __init__.py mod1.py sub2/ mod2.py where I can do "from sub1 import mod1" in mod2.py no matter what the absolute path of top is. To achieve this I start install.py once to retrieve the absolute dir of itself (= abspath of top/) and creates .pth files with its absolute dir in every subdirectory. > but > generally such non-standard sys.path and .pth manipulations are best > handled by a sitecustomize.py file, possibly which makes its own calls > to site.addsitedir() and such. Try "help(site)" for more. But sitecustomize.py changes the Python installation, doesn't it? This wouldn't be an advantage over putting a .pth file into .../site-packages. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Maas, M+R Infosysteme, D-52070 Aachen, Tel +49-241-93878-0 E-mail 'cGV0ZXIubWFhc0BtcGx1c3IuZGU=\n'.decode('base64') ------------------------------------------------------------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
