There are a few standard places that Python already looks for module 
imports.  To see what they are on your system, you could simply look at 
sys.path.

import sys
for path in sys.path:
     print path

In particular, you probably want to use the directory under appdata:

C:\Documents and Settings\XXXX\Application 
Data\Python\Python26\site-packages


where XXXX is your user-name.
