load drf from different location

[Prabath Peiris]

Hi 

This is the problem I am trying to solve. I have a VM which has all the django + other required packages are installed (including the rest_framework). I usually ssh to the VM and then run the following command 

PYTHONPATH=/all/the/paths runserver 127.0.0.1:8000

Now I want to mount the rest_framework to my local machine and and put some debug code to understand how to framework is working. what I like to do is this, I installed the rest_framework module in to my local directory (in VM) and I would like to load the rest_framework from the local install instead from the systemwide install ( I do not want to edit the systemwide install). 

How can I tell the django or pythonpath to load only rest_framework from somewhere else. 

Thank You 

Prabath

What you probably want is a Python virtualenv, or venv for Python3.

https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/
https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html

There are a ton of virtualenv tutorials out there for pretty much
every platform.
