Python library path

Question

In ruby, the library path is specified in $: in perl it in @INC - how do you get the list of paths that Python looks for modules when importing?

Answer 1

I think you are looking for sys.path

 import sys print (sys.path) 

Answer 2

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

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

Answer 3

 import sys sys.path
