Hi Kieran,

Wow, this sat unanswered a really long time; very sorry. This answer is probably too late, but just in case:

In principle, setting the shell environment variable 'PYTHONPATH' should work. The syntax depends on the shell you're using. For sh-based shells,

export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/site-packages

For csh-based shells,

setenv PYTHONPATH /path/to/site-packages

where "/path/to" is the alternate path to the site-packages directory where libSBML was installed on your system. After setting the variable, start python in that same shell and it should hopefully be able to find libSBML.

Multiple paths can be provided by separating them with the ":" character.

There are also python commands that will set the search path, but I don't know the syntax off-hand.

Hope this helps,
MH
