Windows and Python Paths

Question

I am trying import a module called arnold but am having some trouble. I appened my python path with

:C:\solidangle\mtoadeploy\2017\scripts\arnold

When I print out my python path with

 os.environ['PYTHONPATH'].split(os.pathsep)

I get:

['C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\Maya2016\\Python\\Lib\\site-packages:C:\\solidangle\\mtoadeploy\\2017\\scripts\\arnold']

I also tried to remove the arnold from the path since there are other folders there. No dice. I also tried assigning it to my path variable. No dice there as well.

Within the arnold dir there is an init file importing all the modules in the folder.

Anything i'm missing here?

How exactly did you append your PYTHONPATH? I think there may be the problem — Dmitry Shurov

I went to my system properties->Environment Variables->Selected the System Variable-> then clicked edit. For the Path variable, i created a new row in the UI and added the path. For the PYTHONPATH I clicked edit and appened : then the path. — jspada

It seems that you use the wrong path separator. On Windows you should use ;, not : to separate several paths.
