Python Path

[Poparosa]

I appreciate the help here, but I a stuck in a similar problem, and I can't
find any *.pth files to append to, nor can I get the
sys.append('c:/mysqlgui/piddle') call to work. 

What is the syntax of the append call (what does it want as a formal
parameter?)
I get the following message:
Traceback(innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: append


On another thread, how can I create a file with a .pth extension (notepad
always appends .txt)?

thanks
