That's an environment variable, so it depends on your shell.  If 
PYTHONPATH already exists, you can add your directory to it (with colons 
between the names of directories).  But you probably want this to be a 
permanent change, so you need to edit the start-up file for your shell 
(.cshrc, .bashrc, .profile, whatever) and add an instruction to set that 
variable everytime you open a shell.
