Hello everyone,

There seems to be a problem or maybe I misunderstood the search path algorithm... I have a module in site-packages-3 and the same one but in an other dev directory (iCloud) to work on the next version. With the new WorkingCopy directory sync feature, it is just awesome to code on my iPad! However, even though when I print the sys.path and I can see that my dev directory (current directory) is really first in the array over site-packages-3, it still uses site-packages-3 and thus my old module instead of the one I want to test in my current dev directory.

I have tried to look for a similar problem in the forum and elsewhere on the web but nothing. Did anyone encountered this error? Am I not understanding the search algorithm right in Pythonista3?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Never mind, I understand my problem!

At first I thought it was because the module is in cache but I restarted Pythonista and the problème was still there. However, it gave me a hint: how about the cache. That is when I realized the I am loading that very same module within pythonista_startup, which happens before I use my current directory.

Problem solved! Probably the fastest resolution on the forum... my bad! LOL!! :o))
