I was thinking that if I create: \documents and settings\user\My Documents\my\scripts\py\dirname\__init__.py and a .pth file in site-packages with something like: \documents and settings\user\My Documents\my\scripts\py\dirname then my script __init__.py should run when I import dirname but it doesn't
My team of trigger-happy lawyers is currently analyzing "Installing Python Modules", which says: Paths can be absolute or relative, in which case they're relative to the directory containing the .pth file. I've tried specifying the .pth file with r'\documents and settings\user\My Documents\my\scripts\py\dirname' \DOCUME~1\user\MyDocu~1\my\scripts\py\dirname /doceme~1/user/MYDOCU~1/MY/SCRIPTS/PY/DIRNAME but I can't seem to get python 2.4 to pick up an absolute path on windows. I know I could put my scripts in site-packages, but I quite like the idea of keeping my scripts and 3rd party scripts separate. Also, I would prefer not to add "\documents and settings\user\My Documents\my\scripts\py" to the PYTHONPATH, because as soon as I install some 3rd party, I tend to write a 'play' script to run it, so I only want the stuff I specify on the path. So how do I configure an absolute path in a .pth file on windows? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
