Can't say much about setting PYTHONPATH, but an option you should 
consider is to make a .pth file in your site-packages directory that 
lists all of these directories, one per line.

For example:

# mystuff.pth
/users/louispecora/Code/python/general
/users/louispecora/Code/python/stats
/users/louispecora/Code/python/stats/BayesProb
/users/louispecora/Code/python/time_series
/users/louispecora/Code/python/plotwindow
/users/louispecora/Code/AddedPackagesfiles
