EDIT: Works for root, sudo is the problem. Read below.
I have a directory with my own libraries, e.g. my Python libraries are located at /home/name/lib/py
.
I've added this directory to Python's PATH for all users (including root) by adding the following line to /etc/bash.bashrc
:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/name/lib/py
It works for all users (including root). But it doesn't work for sudo. Is there any way I can make sudo use /etc/bash.bashrc
?
EDIT: More information:
I've added PYTHONPATH
to sudoers file like so: Defaults env_keep += "HOME PYTHONPATH"
. It sitll doesn't work.
env | grep PYTHON:
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
PYTHONPATH=/home/name/lib/py
sudo env | grep PYTHON:
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
sudo echo $PYTHONPATH:
/home/name/lib/py
The fix in my case was to remove Defaults !env_reset
from sudoers.
But, I had to keep Defaults env_keep += "PYTHONPATH"
in sudoers.
I've actually added Defaults env_reset
(which resets environment variables), but it still works because of env_keep
.
It seems that env_keep
and !env_reset
conflict with eachother, but that's just a guess.
So, the whole process:
export PYTHONPATH=/your/custom/path
to ~/.bashrc
or /etc/bash.bashrc
PYTHONPATH
to Defaults env_keep += "ENV1 ENV2 ..."
in sudoers fileDefaults !env_reset
from sudoers file if present
