Hello,

I have some trouble setting my PYTHONPATH environmental variable in vmd
1.8.6.
When I set:

set env(PYTHONPATH) .

I always get this error:
$ vmd -dispdev text -python

.
Info) Starting Python...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named VMD
Info) Text interpreter now Python
>>>

But when I print my path using python (sys.path) the actual directory is
included.

If I don't set PYTHONPATH everything starts up without errors, but I
cannot load own modules.

Unfortunately I did not find anything helpful regarding this problem. So
maybe somebody can give me some hint?

Thanks in advance.

With best regards,

Michael
