Do you mean the system PATH, or the system PYTHONPATH?  The difference
between them is that PATH is used for running executables (throughout the
system, not just Python), and PYTHONPATH is used for looking up Python
modules.

You might need to add an entry in your PYTHONPATH to include those
directories.  Good luck!
