How can I add something to my “Pythonpath”.

Where exactly are the files located, I have to change to add to my pythonpath?

What exactly do I add to my Pythonpath?

If Python calls:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/

But I want it to call

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

What do I need to add to make it work.

Strange is that I already used the django-admin.py for a startproject ccommand.
But now it does not find it.

Is there a way to clean up my ALL my Python, Django so I can restart with a fresh version?

    >>> import sys
>>> sys.path

    sys.path is the list of search path for modules.

    if you want a module to be loaded from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages instead of /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/

    you just need to make sure that site-packages search path comes before the Contents in sys.path

    you can set the python path using PYTHONPATH environment variable

    ex: (on a linux system)

    export PYTHONPATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
