Project Configuration
There are a few formats available to consolidate project dotfiles.

Environment Variables
https://docs.python.org/release/3.10.0/using/cmdline.html#environment-variables
$PYTHONPATH
Where python looks for modules $PYTHONSTARTUP
similar to .profile or .bashrc. Sets up interpreter environment $PYTHONHOME
points to the root python directory. typically either /usr/lib/pythonX.X
orC:/pythonX.X
<code$PYTHONWARNINGS=ignore disable all warnings Startup
~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sitecustomize.py
modify startup You can customize the python startup sequence (both interactive and noninteractive) by creating a custom
sitecustomize.py
file in your user_site directory. (which can be obtained withimport site;print(site.USER_SITE)
)site-packages
You can add user-specific site-packages to a python install with the site module (with the advantage that *.pth files will be evaluated).
import site site.add_sitedir('/tmp/my-site-dir')Default Interpreter
Change the following registry-key in Windows. Alternatively, change the order that python appears on your
$PATH
variable.HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.7\InstallPath type: REG_SZ data: C:\Python2.7.3_x64\
Python Extensions
Python modules that require compiling must be compiled with the same compiler that python itself was built with. Microsoft distributes a minimalist compiler environment specifically for use with python/pip.
