[Tutor] import'ing problems (path)

[Kent Johnson]

Tim,

Did you run the WebWare installer or just unpack the distribution file? 
Usually third-party libraries are installed in Python/lib/site-packages. 
This directory is automatically added to sys.path.

Alternatively you can make a permanent, global modification to sys.path by 
creating a file
Python/lib/site-packages/sitecustomize.py
containing the two lines
import sys
sys.path.append('/home/tim/downloads/python/Webware-0.8.1')
