There is a notion of 'working folder', this is the folder where the
application is running. In your case when working from the IDE it's
the IDE's working folder ($PYTHON/Lib/site-packages ...). Try giving
full path to your file and you should be fine. Or do os.chdir to the
right directory to change the current working folder.
sys.path has nothing to do with this problem, it's the path where
Python looks for modules when you import them.


HTH.
