[Tutor] What is the Python Path in windows 98?

I have never found that to be required by IDLE, PythonWin, PyCrust (which I
wrote), Boa, etc. If you go to a dos prompt and type "set" you will see all
your environment variables and their values. If you only have one "SET
PYTHONPATH" statement in your autoexec.bat file, your example should be the
same as without the %PYTHONPATH%.

    I found that it helps to include a bit before the rest of your python
path to preserve whatever other presets python already has.  In don't know
if this is how it's supposed to be or if it's just me.

My python path goes something like this. ( if I remember correctly, that is.
)

SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:proj\python    (and so on...)

    I had to do this to keep idle working.  It seemed that if I didn't
include that Percenty bit at the front, my pythonpath would make idle's
pythonpath not work.  This way, everyone is happy.
