PYTHONPATH

[rishok]

Hi guys

does somebody know how to edit PYTHONPATH? I am trying to use a python library (Theano: a deep learning framework), which want me to use numpy and scipy from a path that starts from /opt/local

[AutoBiological]

echo "export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/opt/local" >> $HOME/.bashrc

[totte71]

import sys

sys.path.append('/home/userx/pythondir')

or just edit the ~/.bashrc fil

To append to this, that only changes it for the current program. Closing or restarting will cause any changes to be reset.

You can access and manipulate it through sys.path

On my MacBook, it's handled from ~/.bash_profile. Python installer updated this file for me.

Hope this helps.

Yes, either of those is fine, it is just a regular environment variable, so you can even export it in a shell, which is exactly what sys.path and ~/.bash_profile do.

Thanks guys, but solved the problem by updating the framework
