Actual it's not in the working directory at the moment. It's in a directory
where I keep all my .py files, a subfolder in my user Scripts folder. The
great thing is I can now import modules from there without using the file
path, just the module name, no matter where my working directory is. That's
either because I have that directory included in the XML code in
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist; or else because it's in the setenv PATH
specified by the ~/Library/init/tcsh/path file. I'm not sure which - I'll
have to remove each in turn and log out and in to check. was kind of hoping
I could also run scripts in that same directory without specifying the full
path but just the file name.

Not at the moment (same as above).

That's what's not working.
