[Python.NET] Setting PYTHONPATH from code

[Lukáš Duběda]

Hi Sharon,

I don't use Python.NET, but I use IronPython and this is a snippet
I use to add PYTHONPATH to the sys.path object:

I use system variables to do so (for various reasons) at the studio.

import sys
from System import Environment as sysEnv

PythonPath = sysEnv.GetEnvironmentVariable('PYTHONPATH')
sys.path.extend(PythonPath.split(';'))


Hope this helps.
