The python project is in Jenkin's workspace folder. I want to run a python script on the QA server (Linux).The workspace folder's path must be added (on runtime for now) in the sys.path .That way I can make imports into the script from any module of the project. TODO->For a more permanent solution the path must be hardcoded in a var in the machine.

apend_path_on_runtime.py

__author__ = 'wehappyfew'

import sys,os,pprint
# check the sys.path before I add my directory
print("1: -- ",sys.path)

if os.name == "posix": # check if the script runs on Linux

	# If I comment it out, it will throw ImportError
	# This path should always be appended on runtime,
	# otherwise should be added on the server as ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE
	sys.path.append("/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/QA_Project/workspace/")

	# check the sys.path after I add my directory
	print pprint.pprint("2: -- ",sys.path)

	from TheProject import helpers #imports a simple var located to another file/module that prints "Hello world"
	print helpers.hello
