[Geany-Users] Can't import local module

[Paul Marlin]

I started Geany from the Ubunto menu.

I ran:

*import sys*

*print(sys.path)*

First I tried Geany and got

*/tmp/geany_run_script_UR8SC0.sh: 7: ./sys: Permission denied**
**------------------**
**(program exited with code: 126)*

Then I tried Idle and got

*['/home/paul/py/test', '/home/paul', '/usr/bin', 
'/usr/lib/python37.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.7', 
'/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', 
'/home/paul/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages', 
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages']*

 From the terminal I got

*['', '/usr/lib/python37.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.7', 
'/usr/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', 
'/home/paul/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages', 
'/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages']*

I think I see the problem.  Python is looking in *
*
*
*
*/home/paul/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages*
*
*
but I was sure I added
**
**
**/home/paul/py**
**
**
to PYTHONPATH

How can I change the path?  An a rhetorical question.  Why is Idle smarter?

Thank you for your response.

Paul
