Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Python: Refer a properties file from different location Post 303041206 by Neo on Monday 18th of November 2019 06:21:52 AM

I don't think you need to use append, to be honest:

Code:
sys.path

Quote:
A list of strings that specifies the search path for modules. Initialized from the environment variable PYTHONPATH, plus an installation-dependent default.

As initialized upon program startup, the first item of this list, path[0], is the directory containing the script that was used to invoke the Python interpreter. If the script directory is not available (e.g. if the interpreter is invoked interactively or if the script is read from standard input), path[0] is the empty string, which directs Python to search modules in the current directory first. Notice that the script directory is inserted before the entries inserted as a result of PYTHONPATH.

A program is free to modify this list for its own purposes. Only strings and bytes should be added to sys.path; all other data types are ignored during import.
According, this may work (sorry, did not test it), if ("/path/to/config") is the full path:

Code:
sys.path("/path/to/config")

Try it and post back Smilie

Name
       XSetFontPath, XGetFontPath, XFreeFontPath - set, get, or free the font search path

Syntax
       XSetFontPath(display, directories, ndirs)
	  Display *display;
	  char **directories;
	  int ndirs;

       char **XGetFontPath(display, npaths_return)
	  Display *display;
	  int *npaths_return;

       XFreeFontPath(list)
	  char **list;

Arguments
       directories
		 Specifies the directory path used to look for a font.	Setting the path to the empty list restores the default path defined for
		 the X server.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       list	 Specifies the array of strings you want to free.

       ndirs	 Specifies the number of directories in the path.

       npaths_return
		 Returns the number of strings in the font path array.

Description
       The function defines the directory search path for font lookup.	There is only one search path per X server, not one per client.  The
       interpretation of the strings is operating system dependent, but they are intended to specify directories to be searched in the order
       listed.	Also, the contents of these strings are operating system dependent and are not intended to be used by client applications.  Usu-
       ally, the X server is free to cache font information internally rather than having to read fonts from files.  In addition, the X server is
       guaranteed to flush all cached information about fonts for which there currently are no explicit resource IDs allocated.  The meaning of an
       error from this request is operating system dependent.

       can generate a error.

       The function allocates and returns an array of strings containing the search path.  When it is no longer needed, the data in the font path
       should be freed by using

       The function frees the data allocated by

Diagnostics
       Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
		 Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument
		 defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
