I guess I'm confused. There are only two ways to run a script: with the 
absolute path to the script, or with a relative path (from the same 
directory as the script, or with the path to the script in another 
directory in the same path hierarchy, i.e. "python foo/myscript.py," in 
a subdirectory called foo).

All the variables you have set--$PATH, etc.-- help Terminal know where 
Python is. They do not help Python know where your script is.
