[det]py_add_lib_dir(+Dir, +Where)

Add a directory to the Python module search path. In the second form, Where is one of first or last. py_add_lib_dir/1 adds the directory as last.

Dir is in Prolog notation. The added directory is converted to an absolute path using the OS notation.

A flexible way to add the directory holding the current Prolog file to the Python search path is in the template below. The here/0 predicate can be replaced by any predicate defined in the file, either above or below the initializing/1 directive. A simple name like here/0 is good style when this code is part of a Prolog module.
