PYTHONPATH in the python process of Sublime Text 2

Question

I tried to get PYTHONPATH in the python process (ex. the console or some packages ) of Sublime Text 2 running "os.environ.get('pythonpath')", but it's empty. It seems not to import only PYTHONPATH from system environment variables. Other variables were imported.

If editing "Python.sublime-build", variables was not imported.

Can I get PYTHONPATH in the process?

Use the env option in your custom Python build system ( documented here ). Basically, you'll want something like this:

"env": {
        "PYTHONPATH":"/my/custom/modules"
       }

Make sure if you are overriding the default Python build rule that you do it in the User folder so that your customization will persist through upgrades.
