Content of PYTHONPATH not appended to sys.path
-
Hi, this is my first post in the new forum. I'm exited
I noticed, that the content of the
PYTHONPATH
environment variable is not appended to the content ofsys.path
for the c4d python interpreter. Since we use a lot of site-modules in our company, this issue is rather annoying.For the time being I helped myself by updating
sys.path
during plugin initialization, but I rather would not.# extend sys.path whit content of PYTHONPATH python_path = os.environ['PYTHONPATH'].replace("\\", "/").split(';') for entry in python_path: if not entry in sys.path: sys.path.append(entry)
Is there a way to tackle the problem in a more convenient way, like a command line parameter or an environment variable? Is this behavior intended or is it just overlooked during the R20 upgrade process?
I looking forward to your answers,
Cheers,
Heinrich. -
Hi Heinrich,
Welcome to the new forum
PYTHONPATH not added to sys.path is a known issue and has been already fixed for the R20 SP2 update.
I don't see a better workaround then your with R20 SP1 currently.I turned this topic into a Q&A. Please use this functionality in the future. For more information see Q&A New Functionality.

Hi,
the issue is reappearing in R23.008, I'm wondering if this is a known one.
thanks in advance,

Hi, correct this is a known issue, I should have mentioned in the Changelog, I will update it next week.
We removed the usage of PYTHONPATH since it's too problematic in case of multiple Cinema 4D versions installed and since PYTHONPATH can be used for a large variety of scripts that could not work in Python 3.7
