Python module search path

Hi everybody,

I'm struggling a bit with the module search path because I didn't find a way to add a path without go through the old windows interface.

I know that my issue comes from an internal server problems but it should be nice anyway to have the possibility to add path directly as text without using the interface.

I maybe ask something stupid; I begin on python stuff so... sorry if the answer exists already.

Have nice day,

Tristan Gobin

You should be able to add a path like so:

import sys
sys.path.append("C:\YourModuleFolder")

Hope that helps.

As Anders says, but please do not run in cycles or in Grasshopper like this, or same paths will add up. A fix is just to check that the path is not already there, like so:

import sys new_path = "C:\\YourModuleFolder" if new_path not in sys.path: sys.path.append(new_path)
