Vizcore.cfg - help with syntax

As I mentioned in the previous post, our lab is getting bigger and we are making a push to organize our code development. One of the things we are working on is a central network folder for resources. We can add this folder to any script using
Code:
viz.res.addPath('//rootname/foldername/Components/resources')
and it works fine, but we want to create a config file that will do this automatically, and just copy it to our development computers. I see in the configuration basics documentation that I can use something like
Code:
viz.resource.path('//rootname/foldername/Components/resources')
but I can't get it to work, and I'm guessing it is a syntax error of some sort. Can someone tell me what the correct syntax is? Also, is it possible to use sys.path.append or some equivalent in the config file as well, so that we can drop Python libraries on the network too, without having to reconfigure each Python? Thanks in advance once again.

Have a look at the Configuration settings basics page in the docs, it explains how to add options to your vizcore.cfg file. In this case you would add the following line:
Code:
viz.resource.path = //rootname/foldername/Components/resources

Yes, that's the page I was looking at, but when I tried to modify the option with the equals sign, I was using quotation marks as well, so that's why that wasn't working. Thanks.

So is it possible to modify the sys.path in the vizcore.cfg file as well? Or will we have to add the path manually on every computer?

During initialization, the Python interpreter will attempt to import sitecustomize. This allows you to make customizations to your Python environment. So create a file called sitecustomize.py and place it anywhere on the default module search path (i.e. Vizard/bin folder) and it will be imported before any Vizard script is executed.
