You should do this with an environment hook, see:

http://docs.ros.org/hydro/api/catkin/...

https://github.com/ros/ros/blob/indig...

https://github.com/ros/roslisp/blob/m...

However, you should reevaluate why you need to do this. Instead you should install your python code into a place where it can be on the path automatically.

Why not answering a bit of an old question: You can set a environment variable out of the CMakeLists.txt
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/comm...
SET(ENV{PYTHONPATH} "/the/path/you/want")
