Adding Twisted Utilities to Your Path

Twisted includes a number of scripts and utilities that you'll need to use. For convenience, you should make sure these are available in your path.

1.3.1. How Do I Do That?

Typically, all you have to do is add Twisted's utility directory to your operating system's command search path. Follow the specific instructions given in the following section for your platform.

1.3.1.1. Windows

Twisted's utilities will be installed in the Python scripts directory (typically in a location such as c:Python23scripts). Twisted includes a helpful Programs menu entry that launches a Windows command prompt with the Python scripts directory added to %PATH%. It's located under Programs Twisted (Python [version]) images/ent/U2192.GIF border=0> Twisted Command Prompt. Use this menu entry to launch your command prompt when you need to run the Twisted utilities, or edit your 1.3.1.2. Linux

Twisted's utilities will be installed in the same directory as your python binary (probably /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin), so you shouldn't need to make any changes to your $PATH.

1.3.1.3. Mac OS X

If you're using the version of Python included with Mac OS X 2.3 "Jaguar" or later, Twisted's utilities will be installed under /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin. Add this directory to your $PATH:

 $ set PATH=$PATH:/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin
