I don't understand the question. Your options are

- install your modules/packages in a directory already in sys.path
- put .pth file in a directory already in sys.path
- set PYTHONPATH
- manipulate sys.path at runtime

In my experience the last option has a tendency to break things which is why 
I prefer any of the other ones. It's your choice however.
