when i do echo $PYTHONPATH
it returns nothing..empty line.
so what does that mean. Im using python and it's working fine ..so whats the use of pythonpath and what should be the value of this in ubuntu 13.04
/usr/bin/
or
/usr/lib/
..or something else
and in windows we have python27/source directory where i could put external sources/drivers , where(or equivalent) it is in ubuntu.
when I do user@user$ dpkg -L python2.7
it shows
/.

The variable PYTHONPATH
that you echo in the terminal is added to the other paths of python. So if you don't have any particular path set in your .profile
or .bashrc
file (or locally), the variable will be empty.
To see the path that python uses do in a python shell
import sys
print(sys.path)
Or as @mgilson suggestes, you can run from terminal
python -c 'import sys; print(sys.path)'
A note: If you decide to install by hand a package using python setup.py install --user
you don't need to add $HOME/.local/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages
to PYTHONPATH
, as it is already in sys.path
