How do I change python search path

Giallo998 · 10-22-2003, 07:45 PM

Trying to get psyslsk to run. Got python, and the wxpythongtk installed, but python can't seem to find the wxmodules, ex:

[root@localhost pyslsk-1.2.4a]# python ./pyslsk
Can not find wxPython modules. Either wxPython is not
installed, or it's not in Python's module search path (it could be built
for a different version of python interpreter for example). The current
search path is
['/home/nick/progs/pyslsk-1.2.4a', '/usr/local/lib/python23.zip', '/usr/local/li
b/python2.3', '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/plat-linux2', '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/
lib-tk', '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-
packages']
[root@localhost pyslsk-1.2.4a]#

I know I installed the wxPython files, but I don't know where they installed to, nor how to change the python search path. Any help?? thanks in advance.

How did you install the wxPython bindings? By rpm?

As for once you know where the modules are located, you can stick something similar to the following example in $HOME/.bash_profile (or whatever the similar syntax is for your particular shell's startup scripts):

Code:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/lib/python:$HOME/lib/misc

If you are at all interested in python programming, you might want the actual explanation from the python docs. Read the description for 'path' in the sys module:
