try to rename "..\python-3.6.0.amd64\python._pth" as "..\python-3.6.0.amd64\zpython._pth".

then tell me if it solves your problem

Hi there,

I ran into a similar problem with WinPython-3.6.0.1Zero, where python was unable to import local modules.

I can attest that, by following your suggestion, the problem disappeared.

In case someone else runs into the same problem, I would like to reemphasize your answer by stating that one must rename the file; keeping the old python._pth around won't work.

there is a thread about the python._pth here: https://bugs.python.org/issue29723

current 3.6.1 beta creates a file "zpython._pth" at the moment, as it's not 100% clear to me what is the best solution when there will be no more bug from python.org point of view.

the "python._pth" idea was apparently valid for winpython up to python-3.6.0beta4 https://bugs.python.org/issue29319

I can also confirm that the renaming works. in 3.6.0.1-Qt5.
