@FRANZEE I have created a pull request to specify module path in mosquitto config instead of using PYTHONPATH #8

Hi, I have the same problem and don't know how to set PYTHONPATH that it will work. Any help would be great!

PYTHONPATH is an environment variable. Have a look at https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONPATH

export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/module
mosquitto -c your_config_file.conf

or when using bash this will also work:

PYTHONPATH=/path/to/module mosquitto -c your_config_file.conf

[DxrMorgan]

in mosquitto.conf make:

auth_plugin /usr/local/lib/mosquitto/auth_plugin_pyauth.so
auth_opt_pyauth_module mosquitto_auth

EXPORT pythonpath:

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/mosquitto

and run

mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
