You just need to add the python script directory to your PATH
variable.
PYTHONPATH controls where python looks for modules. PATH controls
where the Unix shell looks for executables.

So once you add the home/tony/bin directory to PATH in your .profile
or .login or .cshrc (or whatever for the shell you use) it should all
just work.
