I'm using Python 3.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I save my python files in /home/me/Python and I would like to use a .pth-file to make python search that directory, so I created custompaths.pth and entered /home/me/Python on line 1.
I've tried saving custompaths.pth in several different directories, all of which are in sys.path, but if I try to import a module (testmod.py) located in /home/me/Python I just get:
ImportError: No module named 'testmod'
I have tried saving testmod.py in the same directories where I've tried custompaths.pth and then it imports just fine.
I have also tried different ways of entering the search path in custompaths.pth:
/home/me/Python/
/home/me/Python
home/me/Python
home/me/Python/
'/home/me/Python/'
Am I missing something here?
