How to permanently remove value from sys.path?

Question

for some reason, ' ' value (empty value) was added to my sys.path array and I can't run 'setup.py install'. I can't find a way to remove it permanently. I did it through python shell:

sys.path.remove('')

and it removes it until closing the shell. I couldn't find a good answer for permanent removing. I did find this - What sets up sys.path with Python, and when? but I'm sure there must be a better way.

wich operating system are you using? you must remove it from the user or machine env variables, not the session ones. — Netwave, May 21 '17 at 09:10

`echo $PATH`, copy and remove undesired paths, then `export PATH=all_the_paths_you_may_need` — Netwave, May 21 '17 at 09:14

You can use PYTHONPATH

You can append the path to $PATH, and not to $PYTHONPATH.
If you insist to change the PYTHONPATH, in some context that is preferable:

do this:
1. Export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/Users/username/pymodules
2. To make sure you are following the convention of what to append to PYTHONPATH see What exactly should be set in PYTHONPATH?.

What do you mean by 'append'? I want to remove the empty path, not appending. – user2880391 May 21 '17 at 11:10
Try this --> touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile for opening the file and made change – Masume Ebhami May 21 '17 at 11:30
