Why doesn't my installed (on Windows in a virtual environment) python script work without a full path? -

i wrote little python bundle , installed in python 2.7 virtual environment using pip. bundle includes command-line utility script, let's phone call my_script.py uses functionality bundle via import mypkg call. script installed virtualenv scripts folder, after activating virtualenv, if call

(my_env) > python my_script.py --help

i error:

python: can't open file 'my_script.py': [errno 2] no such file or directory

and if call

(my_env) > my_script.py --help

i error

traceback (most recent phone call last): file "c:\pyenvs\my_env\scripts\my_script.py", line 1, in <module> import mypkg importerror: no module named mypkg

(even though mypkg shows in pip list). if call

python c:\pyenvs\my_env\scripts\my_script.py --help

does script work expected. doing wrong, or deficiency of virtualenv on windows?

(further note c:\pyenvs\my_env\scripts in %path%, , same behavior if c:\pyenvs\my_env\scripts in %pythonpath%.)

> python my_script.py

will work if current directory in path environment variable. if not, must specify directory un, either completely, or relative working directory.

so do:

> python .\myscript.py

or update path , add together "." current directory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/path_(variable)
