Put it in the import path - sys.path

iue the module should be located in a directory thats listed in 
sys.path.
There are several ways of achieving this, including adding the 
directory
to sys.path in your program or adding the directory to the PYTHONPATH
environment variable or modifying python startupo to include your 
directory.
Pick the method that seems most appropriate.
