Python Library Path

Question

In ruby the library path is provided in $", in perl it's in @INC - how do you get the list of paths that Python searches for modules when you do an import?

Answer 1

import sys
sys.path

Answer 2

I think you're looking for sys.path

import sys
print sys.path

Answer 3

You can also make additions to this path with the PYTHONPATH environment variable at runtime, in addition to:

import path
sys.path.append('/home/user/python-libs')
