PYTHONSTARTUP and Cygwin

[Dwi Sianto Mansjur]

I tried to set up PYTHONPATH in cygwin but it doesn't work.
Any clue why ?
The following is my session.

$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/home/Cherna/86_DevelopingTools:/home/Cherna/87_TestingCorpus

$ echo $PYTHONSTARTUP
/home/Cherna/86_DevelopingTools:/home/Cherna/87_TestingCorpus

$ python

You probably forgot to export them to put them in the environment?

$ export PYTHONPATH=/c/testwebapp:/c/Steve

sholden@DELLBOY /c/testwebapp/views
$ echo $PYTHONPATH
/c/testwebapp:/c/Steve

sholden@DELLBOY /c/testwebapp/views

Certainly works for me, anyhow ...

yes, it works after I use:
export PYTHONPATH=/home/Cherna/DevelopingTools

I set the shell/environment variable in Cywin.bat
I thought that will take car of the business.
But now it works,

Thanks a lot.
