I am learning about the Python path, and worked out how to use it in powershell. I used os.environ to find that what the variable PYTHONPATH was set to. In both powershell and ubuntu, they were set to the same place. I then navigated to this folder, and created a python file called hello.py with a simple function. When I called this from powershell with
python
import hello
hello.hello()
the code ran. However, when I run in ubuntu the same code, I get ModuleNotFound error message. This confused me because when I ran echo $PYTHONPATH it gave the same value as in powershell when I used the os.environ method. To double check I also ran the following in my ubuntu terminal
python3
import os
os.environ['PYTHONPATH']
and this also gaves the same location.
What am I doing wrong?
