$ cat >>~/.bashrc
export PATH=/home/foo/:$PATH
$ cat >/home/foo/application
#!/usr/bin/env python
import bar.jar
$ chmod +x /home/foo/application
$ cd /home/foo/bar
$ application
.... all imports work fine ...

In what sense do you want to scale, working with multiple projects or
multiple versions of one project at the same time? Anyway you are to
quick to jump to conclusions, if you don't want to edit python path who
will do it for you? Python path won't appear out of thin air if your
file layout is not supported out of the box.
