The file test.py is in I:\Python25\MyCode,
if I enter:
C:\>Python25\MyCode\python25 test.py at the DOS prompt, everything works as
I would expect.
However when I enter the same command from any other directory I get this
error:
C:\>python test.py
python: can't open file 'test.py' : [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I've set the environment variable pythonpath as
C:\>set pythonpath = C:\\Python25\\MyCode
what am I doing wrong,
Thank u for your help,

You need to give the full path to your test.py file.
PYTHONPATH sets the python library search path.
Thank you Tim,
Definitively C:\python \python25\mycode\test.py does work. If you're right
about having to give the full path, and I suspect you are, Then this means that
python knows to search the currennt working directory for the file to execute,
but nowhere else. It seems a strange behavior. Maybe this is on Mr. Guido van
Rossum todo list.
