Hi Karine --

This sounds like an issue with sys.path, a list of directories to search
when import is used.

Windows installations of Python would not normally have My Documents or
Desktop in sys.path I don't think.  However these may be added.

You can also show your students how to:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append("c:\\...")  # whatever path

That won't stick across sessions though.  For that you could use .pth files
in your \\site-packages, which latter will be on sys.path and is the usual
place to save your own classroom work.
