#39267 — Double posts (was Re: Python module import failed error)

matt.doolittle33@gmail.com writes:

That's because your posts carry the following headers:

  To: python-list@python.org
  Cc: python-list@python.org

or these (from a previous message):

  To: comp.lang.python@googlegroups.com
  Cc: python-list@python.org

So it seems you are answering using Google Groups, *and* putting
“python-list@python.org” in the CC field. This “forum” has three heads,
one mirroring the others: whatever you send to one of the addresses is
automatically “copied” on the other sides, and viceversa; see also

  http://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython

So, simply avoid adding an explicit CC field when you send your message/reply.

Hope this helps,
bye, lele.

OK so i ran python and then :

import sys
sys.path

bash returned:

['', '/home/matt', '/users/matt/bin', '/home/matt/bin', '/Home/bin', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-client', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-control-panel', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-couch', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-storage-protocol', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode']

so the paths i have been adding are there.  should i be adding the python file names in the "bin" directory as well?

 My guess would be /home/matt/bin - note the leading slash.

thats the file path.  the directory "bin" in my home directory.  in bash it obviously looks like this  "~/bin" using the file system folder the path is home/Home/bin.  i have tried commands like, export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/users/matt/bin or home/matt/bin or Home/home/bin and nothing has worked.
from what ive found on the web the Python import process is notoriously underspecified, notwithstanding i was under the impression that PYTHONPATH is a global variable that i can add directories to at anytime to tell Python where to look, without having to add some sort of code to every program.  is this impression incorrect?  is there some code i need to add to the Python program call the modules in the "bin" dir?
