Put HTMLgen.py directly into the site-packages directory of your python
installation, e. g. /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/ 
or include the directory containing HTMLgen.py in the python search path by
defining an environment variable

PYTHONPATH=/dir/containing/my/module/

or put a text file dontbother.pth (only the suffix is important) containing

/dir/containing/my/module/

into a folder already in the python module search path, e. g. the
site-packages mentioned above.
