However, I don't know of any good solution when I'm running multiple Pythons (via virtualenv). Short of PowerShell, there isn't a good way to change which python will be used to run .py files (in the registry). And when you just run a script, Windows chooses the executable, based on the registry.
Does anyone have any good idea how to get multiple virtualenvs to work on Windows, without having to type `python full\path\to\script.py` every time?
Eggs do not appear to honor PYTHONPATH
--------------------------------------
I installed python-sybase 0.39 (found on sourceforge, not automatically installed) on Solaris with Python 2.5.2 and setuptools 0.6c8. It made a single file called python_sybase-0.39-py2.5-solaris-2.10-sun4u.egg in the site-packages directory.
Later, a user found that his software was not compatible with the latest python-sybase, so he tried to point his PYTHONPATH at a directory that contained an older version. It kept picking up the newer version, though and he eventually asked me to remove the new version from the system so he could get his program to work.
The problem turns out to be that something puts all the .egg files on sys.path AHEAD of the directories that are in PYTHONPATH. Consequently, PYTHONPATH can never override them.
I found that I could make it work by 1) removing the .egg file from site-packages, or 2) altering sys.path from my python program before doing the import.
path.py
---------
When doing `easy_install path.py` it didnt find anything - but it should find http://pypi.python.org/pypi/path.py ----> http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/path.py/path-2.2.zip#md5=941660081788282887f652510d80e64e
