Setting current path to `PYTHONPATH` permanently

A neat trick to always include the current working/running directory in PYTHONPATH.

Windows

1. Go to the folder where your python.exe is present. In my case, C:\Program Files\Python38

2. Rename your python.exe to something like python3.exe. I’m renaming it to python38.exe because it’s v3.8

3. Create a file called python.bat in that same folder and put the following:

%echo off
set PYTHONPATH=%CD%;%PYTHONPATH%
python38 %*

That’s it. Now whenever you’re running python command, the current directory will be included in PYTHONPATH by default.
