I have written a small DB access module that is extensively reused in many programs.

My code is stored in a single directory tree /projects for backup and versioning reasons, and so the module should be placed within this directory tree, say at /projects/my_py_lib/dbconn.py.

I want to easily configure Python to automatically search for modules at the /projects/my_py_lib directory structure (of course, __init__.py should be placed within any subdirectory).

What’s the best way to do this under Ubuntu?

Thanks,

Adam

    You can add a PYTHONPATH environment variable to your .bashrc file. eg.

    export PYTHONPATH=/projects/my_py_lib
