[Tutor] import a module

I'm feeling a little foolish because I cannot do this.
 I created a module called functions (Clever, huh?) at
this path:

C:\Documents and Settings\Christopher Spears\My
Documents\programming\PythonScripts\Part4\Ex07\functions.py

I want to launch IDLE, import the file, and use it.  I
tried:

import "C:\Documents and Settings\Christopher
Spears\My
Documents\programming\PythonScripts\Part4\Ex07\functions.py"

However, I keep getting a syntax error on the last
double quote.  According to the docs, I might be able
to get Python to find this file by modifying sys.path.
 I would prefer not do that because this is just an
exercise out of the Learning Python book.

Thanks!
