How to import from a file which is not in the current directory?

[Luis M. González]

Lets say that you are in directory "C:\\Python25" and you want to
import function "bar" defined in module "foo" located in your windows
desktop.
You do it like this:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('C:\\Users\\You\\Desktop')
>>> from foo import bar

So you add your desktop to "sys.path" and then import the function as
though it is in the same directory.
Hope this helps...
