pythonpath issue? "python2.5: can't open file 'dev_appserver.py': [Errno 2] No such file or director
- by Linc
I added this line to my .bashrc (Ubuntu 9.10):
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/google_appengine/
And then I ran the dev_appserver through python2.5 on Ubuntu like this:
$ python2.5 dev_appserver.py guestbook/
python2.5: can't open file 'dev_appserver.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
As you can see, it can't find dev_appserver.py even though it's in my /opt/google_appengine/ directory. Just to make sure it's not a permissions issue I did this:
sudo chmod a+rwx dev_appserver.py
To check whether it's been added to the system path for python2.5 I did this:
$ python2.5
Python 2.5.5 (r255:77872, Apr 29 2010, 23:59:20)

/opt/google_appengine/demos
/opt/google_appengine
/usr/local/lib/python25.zip
...
The directory shows up in this list so I don't understand why it can't be found when I type:
$ python2.5 dev_appserver.py guestbook/
I'm new to Python so I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
