I use elpy and I am not able to use relative paths to access files because the PYTHONPATH doesn't include the directory I'm in by default. I may have set it up wrong in elpy-config. Here are my paths by default after using pprint.pprint(sys.path):

['',
 '/usr/lib/python310.zip',
 '/usr/lib/python3.10',
 '/usr/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload',
 '/home/steve/.virtualenvs/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages',
 '/home/steve/Python/']

I was adding the path every project using os.chdir() but this didn't work for modules so I have been manually appending the path that I'm working in every new project I start by using sys.path.append() and this works fine. How can I have the current directory I'm in added to the path's without having to append it every time?

  • I am not familiar with elpy, but using PYTHONPATH is quite out of fashion these days. Almost everyone I know uses a tool like pipenv or poetry to run their project in a "virtual environment", and I know that there are Emacs packages to support that style of work. Commented Jun 18, 2022 at 3:28
  • Adding to the previous comment, check out the pyvenv emacs package. Commented Jun 19, 2022 at 7:53

I deleted __pycache__ and .mypycache from a parent directory, now my path is functioning as expected.
