executing python programs as if they were on OS path (noob)

[Darren Dale]

Is there a place to put python programs so I dont have to refer to the 
absolute path everytime I want to call them? For example:

if I am in /home/me and want to execute:

python /home/me/python/export.py temp.dat

what could I do so this will work:

python export.py temp.dat

Thanks,
Darren
