You need to either:

1) Put your modules in some directory that's already on your python path.  
To find out what your path is, do:

import sys
print sys.path

It should include a directory which ends in "site-packages".  Just drop 
your modules into that directory.

2) Add the directory where you modules are to your python path.  The 
easiest way to do this is to set PYTHONPATH in your environment.
