if you put it in site packeages it should be a package... this means
the directory should have an __init__.py in it. then you can use it
with
>>> import yourdir.yourmodule
or you can put your modules anywhere and create a ".pth" file with
the path in it. this is appended on sys.path on startup.
and then there is the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
or you can add you path to sys.path in sitecustomize.py
