[Cheetahtemplate-discuss] Problem with import from custom directory (was Re: Problem with import in web-app)

[Webb S. <web...@gm...>]

I don't think the problem is with mod_python.  My question is now:

How do I gracefully update sys.path to include a directory not in the
standard python path?  I want to import a module to use some constants
in place holders.  EG:

#sys.path.append(/foo)
#import bar ## in /foo
<h1>the magic number is $foo.baz + 1 </h1>

However, this doesn't work, throwing an error that bar is not found.
I am resigned to compiling my cheetah templates and then editing the
*.py files, but this seems bad.

Thanks!
