python – adding directory to sys.path /PYTHONPATH

python – adding directory to sys.path /PYTHONPATH

This is working as documented. Any paths specified in PYTHONPATH are documented as normally coming after the working directory but before the standard interpreter-supplied paths. sys.path.append() appends to the existing path. See here and here. If you want a particular directory to come first, simply insert it at the head of sys.path:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0,/path/to/mod_directory)

That said, there are usually better ways to manage imports than either using PYTHONPATH or manipulating sys.path directly. See, for example, the answers to this question.

You could use:

import os
path = the path you want
os.environ[PATH] += :+path

python – adding directory to sys.path /PYTHONPATH

As to me, i need to caffe to my python path. I can add its path to the file
/home/xy/.bashrc by add

export PYTHONPATH=/home/xy/caffe-master/python:$PYTHONPATH.

to my /home/xy/.bashrc file.

But when I use pycharm, the path is still not in.

So I can add path to PYTHONPATH variable, by run -> edit Configuration.
