I am trying to add a path to the PYTHONPATH environment variable, that would be only visible from a particular virtualenv environment.
I tried SET PYTHONPATH=...
under a virtualenv command prompt, but that sets the variable for the whole environment.
How do I achieve that?
You can usually avoid having to do anything with PYTHONPATH by using .pth
files. Just put a file with a .pth extension (any basename works) in your virtualenv's site-packages folder, e.g. lib\python2.7\site-packages
, with the absolute path to the directory containing your package as its only contents.
