If you can modify your profile, then I'd expect you can permanently
set PYTHONPATH for the current user. setx.exe will modify the key at
HKCU\environment, e.g.:

    setx PYTHONPATH D:\modules

Verify that it was set:

    reg query HKCU\Environment /v PYTHONPATH

%PYTHONPATH% should exist the next time you logon. No guarantees, but
it's at least worth trying.

As to mixed-case module names, that's a pain to be avoided. The
Windows file API is case insensitive, but NTFS is case preserving.
Python uses this to do its own case-sensitive import.
