add path to PYTHON_PATH before calling script?

davecotter

in my .pro file, i have this:

QMAKE_POST_LINK += python $${DIR_KJAMS_DEV}xplat/python/post_build_kjams_qt.py $$build_depth $$TARGET

in my .bash_profile i have this:

PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/Users/davec/Developer/depot/CF/python/"
export PYTHONPATH

however, in the post_link script called from the .pro file, that python path is NOT included in the sys.path list.
what's up with that? how do i ensure my path is added?

that might work!
what i ended up doing was making a python file called "include.py", which looks like this:

import os, sys

def	get_script_path_local(fileStr):
	scriptPath = fileStr
	if scriptPath.find(os.sep) == -1:
		scriptPath = os.getcwd() + os.sep + scriptPath
	return scriptPath

def	get_script_folder_local():
	scriptFile = os.path.abspath(__file__)
	#debug_print("__file__: " + scriptFile)
	pathStr = get_script_path_local(scriptFile)
	#debug_print("script file: " + pathStr)
	pathStr = os.path.dirname(pathStr)
	#debug_print("script folder: " + pathStr)
	return os.path.abspath(pathStr) + '/'

sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(				\
	get_script_folder_local() + "../../../..")	\
	+ '/CF/python/')

then in the python file(s) that i must run, just do this:

import include

and BOOM, i can subsequently import from that other python folder

It's likely that qmake does not call bash. Does the shebang character in post_build_kjams_qt.py call sh or bash?

Also, try putting your path into .bashrc, perhaps it will pick it up from there.

And last resort: you can specify the path in QMAKE_POST_LINK call, too:

QMAKE_POST_LINK +=  PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/Users/davec/Developer/depot/CF/python/" python $${DIR_KJAMS_DEV}xplat/python/post_build_kjams_qt.py $$build_depth $$TARGET

Or at least I think it might work ;-)
