Yes, it does.  But, for the file structure you gave, you want:

sys.path.append('e:/code/AppDir')

If SomePackage is a subdirectory of any directory in your sys.path, and in
SomePackage is a file __init__.py, then SomePackage is a package.  So
you always want a package's parent directory in sys.path, not the
package directory itself.

HTH,
Mike
