Where's the Python directory

[NeoPjcpp]

I have Django installed and now I need to copy it to Python directory. Where is it? How can I find it?

[NeoPjcpp]

I figured this one out. It's in /usr/lib. Now the new question is, how can I set the environment variable for Django so I can use its admin interface?

I'm sure it's a general question, how can we set up evrironment variable/path? Help appreciated.

in Bash:

export VARIABLE_NAME=/path/to/where/ever

Thanks. Is editing /etc/profile equivalent to that?

Yes and no.

You should really read the Bash man page. Especially the section titled " INVOCATION ". It depends on how bash / sh is invoked, whether or not the /etc/profile will be parsed as expected. I personally noticed that in some situations my env variables were not set as expected.

To test your theory, put it the line in /etc/profile , then try:

echo $VARIABLE_NAME

...in several different manners. For example: At a fresh reboot (after login at the VT console, inside of an xterm (or equivalent), and even inside a script:

cat > ~/testing.sh << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh

echo $CHANGE_THIS_TO_VARIABLE

#no equals sign though - because we are testing, not setting.
EOF

chmod a+x ~/testing.sh

..cut & paste the above commands at the prompt to create a "testing.sh" shell script inside your home directory and change its permissions to executable. Try running this script from the console and inside an Xterm too. If it produces just a blank line, then the variable is not set.

You can also issue :

env

...at any time to list all the environment variables in your current shell.
