Setting PYTHONPATH for Scite?

[John Salerno]

Whenever I try to run a program from Scite (F5) while the file is
within my Python directories (on Windows), it works. But when I move
the file to a different folder I get an error saying it can't find the
file. I created the PYTHONPATH environment variable and added the
directory to it, but it still doesn't seem to work. Is there something
else to do to get Scite to find it? Or is this a Python issue?

Thanks.

Hello,

I apologize for the dimwitted question: I'm not sure I understand how
SciTE runs your program/Python script, but have you tried adding the
path to your Python interpreter to the PATH environment variable, by
editing the system settings? (As explained here:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm)

I haven't tried that yet, but it was my understanding that PATH was
used for something else. I might also be mistaken about the proper use
of PYTHONPATH as well.

Hi John,

PATH is used to indicate where to look for programs. So if your PATH
includes C:/python25/ (if you are using python2.5) then python will be
available from any directory

PYTHONPATH on the other hand tells python (and not other programs)
where to look for packages during import.

You should show the exact error message along with the path of the file.

I tried adding C:\Python25\ to my PATH variable, but I still get the
following message when trying to run a file:

>pythonw -u "test.py"
>The system cannot find the file specified.

I don't understand what else I might need to do. It worked normally on
Ubuntu, without any changes. I'm using the same user properties file
on Windows, so nothing in there would be different, AFAIK.

Oh sorry, the path of the file is:

C:\Documents and Settings\John Salerno\My Documents\My Scripts

and I added that to my PATH variable, but I get the above error
message.

Did you restart SciTE after setting the path? Does "pythonw --help"
work from a command prompt?
