Kermit,

There are a couple of ways to import python modules from various
places. But first create a folder somewhere (like was mentioned
earlier) to keep all your personal modules and scripts in. Now create
a file named "myconfig.pth" and throw it in your main PythonXX folder.
Any paths in this file will be added to the search path of Python
modules. Now you can import from these folders

Also so you will be aware. You can add folders to the python search
path by appending or inserting to the sys.path array.

>>> import sys
>>> print sys.path
[...list of paths here...]
>>> sys.path.append('path\to\some\directory\containing\script.py')
>>> import script.py

There are other ways...
