[Tutor] Very basic Python question

[Daniel Sato]

Hi,

Let me preface this by saying that I purchased O'Reilly's "Learn Python"
yesterday and have no programming experience (I am a photographer by trade)
except for a semester of what I think was BASIC on some old apple back in
elementary school (circa 1992).

I am not sure what details are relevant, so I will try and include as much
as possible.  I have a MacBook Pro running Mac OSX 10.5.6.  I recently dl'ed
MacPython 2.5, which installed Python 2.5.4 on my system.

When I am in the terminal, I can run a module by typing python
fullpath/to/script.py

However, when I enter Python from the terminal, by typing python, I can no
longer import items in this way unless the .py file is in my user folder
/Users/Me.  How can I change my settings so that I can import .py files from
a separate directory such as /Users/Me/Documents/PyMods?

Thank you.
