You should try setting your PYTHONPATH environment vaqriable
in your bash shell.

.profile
or
.login

are the two files that you can use and I've forgotten which is
recommended for environment variables. Both work but one
can get called multiple times if I remember correctly.

In bash the line should look like:

export PYTHONPATH=~/python
