There is a file you can use to extend your system path on my windows box 
it is here:
    C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\package.pth

Inside the package.pth I have added:
   C:\\QA\\bin
I think I needed to do this in linux as well (and it worked).
Find your installation path to ../Lib/site-packages and if that file 
does not exist create it and add your paths in their own lines no 
separators needed.
