I've got python modules installed in a non-standard location. How do I tell kdevelop where to look for them?

For c++ headers, there is a feature called 'add custom include paths' that solves the problem for a given source file (incidentally, I wasn't able to find the global setting for this).

Is there anything similar for python?

In more recent versions, you can use the same "custom include paths" feature, accessible under right-click on project -> Open configuration -> Includes and Defines.

If that doesn't work yet in your version (I think it's fixed starting with 4.7.2 or something like that), there are two workarounds:
a) add the extra path to $PYTHONPATH before you start kdevelop, e.g. run PYTHONPATH=/my/directory kdevelop
b) open the extra modules as projects, all the open projects are considered include paths as well.

What do you mean by "right-click on project"?

In the projects panel (left side bar by default), right-click on the project folder.

Actually, just running

PYTHONPATH=<custom path to python libraries> kdevelop

was sufficient without any extra steps. Thanks for the tip.

Well, yes, it doesn't require extra steps, but it's not exactly convenient. The second method is preferred.
