Yes but if you have a lot of modules in there that you might 
want to use in other programs you might prefer to add the 
folder to your PYTHONPATH environment variable. That 
way Python will always look in that folder for your modules.

Thats what I do - I gave a folder whee I put all my reusable 
modules. This folder is not under my Python install folder 
so that when I install a new Python and delete the old I 
don't lose my code... And the PYTHONPATH variable 
works with the new Python.
