Thanks to Jon, Piet, David and Dave for the responses.

sys.path gets its values from several places.

Ah, I'd misunderstood the docs: I thought it came from just one place (which I couldn't find).

Anyway, I'd suggest adding it to PythonPath, and if it's empty, just create it with the directory you need.

Thanks--that worked!

I'm hoping you know you can also add to sys.path directly during script initialization. It's just a list, and is writeable.

Yes, but I'm mainly playing in IDLE and I was getting a bit fed up of repeatedly typing
 import sys
 sys.path.append('C:/Users/Michael/Code/Python')
 import mystuff
