import - Importing in Python

Question

In Python 2.5, I import modules by changing environment variables. It works, but using site-packages does not. Is there another way to import modules in directories other than C:Python25 ?

Answer 1

On way is with PYTHONPATH environment variable. Other one is to add path to sys.path either directly by sys.path.append(path) or by defining .pth files and add them to with site.addsitedir(dirWithPths). Path files (.pth) are simple text files with a path in each line. Every .pth file in dirWithPths will be read.
