You can do that directly inside PythonWin, using the Tools menu.

You could modify sys.path at runtime, appending directories if 
needed. But the package solution below is much better.

First, remove all spaces from directory names. Then make them normal 
packages (an empty __init__.py may be enough) so you can write, in ATS.py:

from LevelRegulation import whatever
from CurveDetection.MyModuleName import MyClass

etc.
