My sys.path does not look right in my traceback

Hi all!  I'm very new to pylons (couple of days off and
on), and have
run into a bit of a problem.

I'm attempting to use a myghty module component via
`Component Call
With Content' .  The component call looks something like
this ->

<&| order:formfill, defaults=defaults, errors=errors
&>

 ... some stuff ...

</&>

But I get an error:

Error:  	Error(ImportError): No module named order

Well, I wanted to stick the `formfill' function inside the
controller
that is actually handling the order form.  So, I did just
that .

But, pylons can't find the order module and I think it is
because my
sys.path is screwed up.  Below is the sys.path entry that I
think is
causing the problem:

'C:\\cygwin\\tmp\\pylons-sandbox\\helloworld\\hel
loworldC:\\cygwin\\tmp\\pylons-sandbox\\helloworld\
\helloworld/controllers'

I think it should read:
'C:\\cygwin\\tmp\\pylons-sandbox\\helloworld\\hel
loworld/controllers'

And this is the line in my routing.py that is setting this
up -
    map = Mapper(directory = root_path + '/controllers')

I just don't understand how the path is getting screwed up.
  If I
can't figure it out, I can always stick it in my project's
`lib'
directory, which shows up in sys.path correctly.  But, I'd
rather avoid
that if possible.  Another alternative is just to use the
`project'
package, to drill down to my controller -
`helloworld.controllers.order'  But at this point, I'm
wondering if
I've screwed up my configuration somehow, and I don't
realize it.

Any ideas?

You can add the controllers dir to your search path by
editing
yourproj/config/environment.py. Near the top is a line that
inserts
several paths into the sys path like models and lib.

Just add 'controllers' to it, and what you're doing
should work.

HTH,
Ben

It also appears that this line should've been done with
os.path.join to
avoid using a unix specific directory path (the / instead of
\). I've
added a ticket for this so I remember to patch it when I
have time.
