Its what goes into sys.path.
In other words its where your local modules are stored. Using an
environment variable rather than a path file, as is often suggested,
allows each user to have their own module library, and even
multiple libraries by using a script to launch Python that redefines
PYTHONPATH before starting Python. Or you can do it manually.
Much more flexible. I'm a big fan of environment variables!
