There are two ways, inside python or within the environment.

1.  Add the directory to the path:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.insert(0, r'c:\python20\Code')

2.  Create a new environment variable: open the system properties and
add 'PYTHONPATH' with your directory to the user environment section.
If a path already exists, append the directory with a semicolon (;).
