Adding a node into an xml tree

Hi snippsat

You are right. As I am lazy, I defined an alias

remi@remi-Vostro-3550:~$ alias python
alias python='python3.8'
remi@remi-Vostro-3550:~$ 

I don't remember how I installed Python and BeautifulSoup. I made a new BeautifulSoup install following your instruction

remi@remi-Vostro-3550:~$ pip -V
pip 20.1 from /home/remi/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
remi@remi-Vostro-3550:~$ python -m pip install beautifulsoup4
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

Requirement already satisfied: soupsieve>1.2 in ./.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from beautifulsoup4) (2.0)
remi@remi-Vostro-3550:~$

I've removed bs4 and beautifulsoup4-4.6.0.egg-info from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages as they now have been installed in /home/remi/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages.

So, I still have a question regarding my own scripts.

Do I have to store them in /home/remi/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages or could I let them in a specific directory, and in that case, how can I have this directory be included in sys.path at Python's launch when typing «Python» on the command line ? (I know it is included in sys.path[0] when I type «Python <my_script> on the command line)
