Not Sure This Can Be Done...

[MrJean1]

In any script upon startup, sys.path[0] contains the full path of the
directory where the script is located.  See <http://docs.python.org/
lib/module-sys.html> under 'path'.

it should be straightforward from here (untested though).  In each
script, get the sys.path[0] string, split it using os.path, replace
the last item with 'tools' and join again with os.path.  If the
resulting string is not in sys.path, insert it after sys.path[0].
