Temporary PYTHONPATH in Windows

Question

How do I set, temporarily, the PYTHONPATH environment variable just before executing a Python script?

In *nix, I can do this:

$ PYTHONPATH=\'.\' pyth         


        

Answer 1

How temporarily? If you open a Windows console (cmd.exe), typing:

set PYTHONPATH=.

will change PYTHONPATH for that console only and any child processes created from it. Any python scripts run from this console will use the new PYTHONPATH value. Close the console and the change will be forgotten.
