Appending to Python Path

I discovered this while browser. This is how you can add your directory path to Python:


Your path (i.e. the list of directories Python goes through to search for modules and files) is stored in the path attribute of the sys module. Since path is a list, you can use the append method to add new directories to the path.

For instance, to add the directory /home/me/mypy to the path, just do:

import sys
sys.path.append("/home/me/mypy")
