More newbie macosx user questions

[Timothy Grant]

I think I'm mis-understanding something about how PYTHONPATH works (at
least on OSX I didn't have this trouble on Linux).

I have a directory where I store libraries that I'm playing around
with. However, for some reason python can't find the library. Since
I'm using PyQt, I use pythonw, but the results are identical with
python. It doesn't look like my PYTHONPATH is getting prepended to the
library path.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

(timothygrant@bastard%) echo $PYTHONPATH
/Users/timothygrant/code/lib
(timothygrant@bastard%) ls $PYTHONPATH
NJB.py NJB.pyc _njb_c.so njb_c.py njb_c.pyc
(timothygrant@bastard%) pythonw
