[Tutor] Adding custom modules to the module index?

[f2001847 at bits-pilani.ac.in]

         if ur using windows then just create a file with extension .pth 
and in that file each line should contain the directory in which ur 
modules are located.This way u can import all the modules in different 
directories. File with .pth extension should be created in ur python 
directory(directory where python was installed).
