If I put a *.pth file in site-packages it's giving an ImportError.
I'm not getting how to import by creating a *.pth file.
(Refers to importing in python)

2-1: You should provide (1) code, (2) the actual error message, (3) the .pth file you're using.S.Lott– S.Lott2009-03-31 12:41:18 +00:00Commented Mar 31, 2009 at 12:41

If you put a .pth file in the site-packages directory containing a path, python searches this path for imports. So I have a sth.pth file there that simply contains:
K:\Source\Python\lib
In that directory there are some normal Python modules:
logger.py
fstools.py
...
This allows to directly import these modules from other scripts:
import logger
log = logger.Log()
...

/tmp/test/$ mkdir foo; mkdir bar
/tmp/test/$ echo -e "foo\nbar" > foobar.pth
/tmp/test/$ cd ..

>>> import site, sys
>>> site.addsitedir('test')
>>> sys.path[-3:]
['/tmp/test', '/tmp/test/foo', '/tmp/test/bar']
