some practice with django (still before the real world appears..)

It is hard for beginner to add packages to python. I really did not know where they could be found.

http://docs.python.org/install/index.html#modifying-python-s-search-path gives good introduction.

Then I decided to use the .pth way.

However, when I created the .pth file and put my packages in the site-packages folder, but python could not find them... it took me time again, and then found, site-packages has been discarded by python 2.6 and after...

This also makes me understand why when I use python command to check python path and surprisingly did not see "site-packages" appeared in it!

=========================

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
