The easiest way would be to put the single module feedparser.py in the  
same directory as your program (I don't  completely get your reasons not  
to do that). OR put feedparser.py in some other directory that is already  
listed in sys.path. OR add the directory containing feedparser.py to  
sys.path, just at the beginning of your program.

*IF* the directory 'feedparser' were a package (that is, if it contained a  
file __init__.py), then that last import statement would be valid. But I  
don't reccomend doing this; you're changing the module's environment.
