I know how to set it in my /etc/profile and in my environment variables.
But what if I want to set it during a script?
Is it import os, sys? How do I do it?

You don’t set
PYTHONPATH, you add entries tosys.path. It’s a list of directories that should be searched for Python packages, so you can just append your directories to that list.In fact,
sys.pathis initialized by splitting the value ofPYTHONPATHon the path separator character (:on Linux-like systems,;on Windows).You can also add directories using
site.addsitedir, and that method will also take into account.pthfiles existing within the directories you pass. (That would not be the case with directories you specify inPYTHONPATH.)
