Basically you create a file and save it someplace thats in 
your PYTHONPATH environment variable or within the sys.path
variable.

Its covered in my tutorial under functions and modules.
Setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable is OS dependant
but should be easy to find. If not get back to us and we can 
probably help if you tell us which OS you use.
