How do I find out my PYTHONPATH using Python?
You would probably also want this:
import sysprint(sys.path)
Or as a one liner from the terminal:
python -c "import sys; print('\n'.join(sys.path))"
Caveat: If you have multiple versions of Python installed you should use a corresponding command python2
or python3
.
sys.path
might include items that aren't specifically in your PYTHONPATH
environment variable. To query the variable directly, use:
import ostry: user_paths = os.environ['PYTHONPATH'].split(os.pathsep)except KeyError: user_paths = []
Can't seem to edit the other answer. Has a minor error in that it is Windows-only. The more generic solution is to use os.sep as below:
