Python Paths
Scripts Path
By default, Rhino adds these paths to Python 2 and 3 search paths (sys.path):
On Windows:
- Shared
%PROGRAMDATA%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\<version>.0\scripts(if exists) - User
%APPDATA%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\<version>.0\scripts
On macOS:
- Shared
/Users/Shared/McNeel/Rhinoceros/<version>.0/scripts(if exists) - User
~/Library/Application Support/McNeel/Rhinoceros/<version>.0/scripts
Note that the first path on either platform, is the shared path and takes precedence over the user path. So if python module test is available in both paths, the one under shared path will be imported. Shared scripts path are not created by default so there is not a conflict unless you, your system admin, or other third-party plugin intentionally places python modules or scripts in this path.
Editor Paths
You can add a list of other search paths for each Python version in Editor options:
Note that the order of these paths is important. First path on the list would be the first path to be search for a module.
Editor stores these paths in two .rhinocode/python-3.pth and .rhinocode/python-2.pth files. See Path Files for more information.
