[Tutor] locating python scripts

[max baseman]

hey i just have a small question, doesn't have much to do with  
programing but it has to do with python.
anyways Im running a apple computer  version 10.4 and have been  
keeping my scripts in the user folder i was wondering where and how i  
can change the files that python looks in when looking for programs i  
would like to make it so that i can have separate folders in the user  
folder for different projects
any help would be great
thanks
