Under User Preferences -> File -> Scripts Path, I set a path to my personal folder of Blender scripts and libraries which I want to be easily imported.

In 2.56, after startup, typing

Code:

import sys sys.path

returned a list of paths which included my scripts path, so that I could simply type

Code:

import my_Library

In the 2.57 RC1 (R35899), this no longer happens. Meaning I have to explicitly type:

Code:

import sys sys.path.append('Path to my scripts folder') import my_Library

Much more tedious. Is this intentional or a bug?

By the way, I have verified this on four separate builds:

1) Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit
2) My own build on a Redhat 5.6 machine
3) Mac OSX Snow Leopard
4) Windows 7
