[GRASS-dev] PYTHONPATH question

[Michael Barton]

Any idea why the following PYTHONPATH in my .profile works fine for  
GRASS finding packages like MatPlotLib and a version with the site- 
packages entry last does not?

PYTHONPATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/site-packages:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 
2.5/lib/python25.zip:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/ 
lib/python2.5:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/plat-darwin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 
2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages:/Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk:/Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib- 
dynload:"$PYTHONPATH

I had to modify this from the one that the Mac Python installation  
sets to put site-packages first. The Python interpreter has no problem  
with the path either way.  Does something in the grass Python parser  
stop reading this path if it hits non-existent directories?
