How to add to the PYTHONPATH in Windows, so it finds my modules/packages?
Posted By: Anonymous
I have a directory which hosts all of my Django apps (C:My_Projects
). I want to add this directory to my PYTHONPATH
so I can call the apps directly.
I tried adding C:My_Projects;
to my Windows Path
variable from the Windows GUI (My Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables
). But it still doesn’t read the coltrane module and generates this error:
Error: No module named coltrane
Solution
You know what has worked for me really well on windows.
My Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables >
Just add the path as C:Python27 (or wherever you installed python)
OR
Then under system variables I create a new Variable called PythonPath
. In this variable I have C:Python27Lib;C:Python27DLLs;C:Python27Liblib-tk;C:other-folders-on-the-path
This is the best way that has worked for me which I hadn’t found in any of the docs offered.
EDIT: For those who are not able to get it,
Please add
C:Python27;
along with it. Else it will never work.
