One way is to manually add piddle to the python path after
booting python, com sa:

 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path.append("f:\\progra~1\\python\\piddle")

That'll work until you leave Python and come back --
would have to do the above every time.

To permanently make piddle accessible, create a text 
file in f:\progra~1\python called init.pth.  Could 
be a one-liner, simply:

piddle

And you're done.
