Because it means that python can find the modules. The pythonpath and
.pth files methods also allow python to find modules in that
directory. Otherwise, if ipython is run from a directory different to
the one which contains the module, python will not in general find the
modules.

Whether you can reload the module after that depends on whether it's
pure python.
