Re: [Hamlib-developer] hamlib Python module

[Nate B. <n0...@n0...>]

Thanks to Ervin for jogging my memory.

There is a way to make such a path permanent.  I did this in order to
seamlessly test the Python modules when I've installed Hamlib to
$HOME/local.  The following should work even though I last played with
this almost three years ago,  In my case I have directories for Python
2.7, 3.6, and 3.7:

Create the following directory:

~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages

Under that directory should be a file that has the extension '.pth'.  I
created it as:

home_local.pth

In that file should be the following:

/home/nate/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages


I think that replacing the major and minor version numbers with those on
your system should work as well as the path in the file could probably
be written as:

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages

may work as well.

There is probably a way to create a similar file under /etc for site
wide, i.e. available to all users.

73, Nate
