Python Forum

Hi
I have a bunch of .py files sitting in my command line directory path and I wish to install them to Python3. I have tried 'sudo apt install filename.py' and sudo apt-get install python-filename ect but they don't recognize the files. Any solutions please?

Regards

You could do the following

1. Create a directory for these Python files, for example /home/myname/pymods
   
2. Find the per user site-packages directory. For this, start python and run
   

   >>> import site
   >>> site.getusersitepackages()

   On the computer where I'm writing this, it prints '/home/eric/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages'. This is the path to the directory
   
3. In this directory, create a file named usercustomize.py (if it does not already exist). In this file add code
   

   # usercustomize.py
   import site
   site.addsitedir('/home/myname/pymods')

You can now import these python modules.
