[PythonCE] Can't Get My Import Module Command to Work Properly

[Mark Doukidis]

Try using "sitecustomize.py". This is the setup I used for Python2.3:

# sitecustomize.py to be placed in python library directory.
import os
import sys

if os.name == 'ce':
  sys.path.append("\My Documents\Personal")

Hope this is useful.
