PYTHONPATH as agrument to python interpreter

Question

I want to pass PYTHONPATH as argument to python.exe just like i can do this in java:

java -classpath /somedir/some.jar;/anotherdir MyClass

so i'm looking for something like:

python -PYTHONPATH /somedir/pythonsrc;/anotherdir/pythonsrc mymodule.py

is it possible to do such a think in python? thanks

Answer 1

Try to set the environement variable PYTHONPATH before launching python :

On windows :

set PYTHONPATH=/somedir/pythonsrc;/anotherdir/pythonsrc && python.exe mymodule.py

On unix

PYTHONPATH=/somedir/pythonsrc:/anotherdir/pythonsrc python mymodule.py
