python - How to add folder to search path for a given Anaconda environment?

Question

I am developing a project in Python and I want to include some own modules which are not on the regular Python search path and I want to add them. However, I want to do this just for the Anaconda environment I am using during development and I would like them to remain there over time(i.e. when I restart the environment, I want the search path to have that folder).

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use

conda develop <directory>

This will write a conda.pth file to the environment's site-packages directory which will cause your directory to be added to the sys.path.
