The best way I have found is to place that definition of your PYTHONPATH
in your .bash_profile in your home directory and export it from there.
PYTHONPATH=/home/foo/prog/learning_python
export PYTHONPATH
This way your PYTHONPATH is picked up each time you log on. You
might have to restart IDLE for the changes you mention below to take effect.

I am to the point in _Learning_Python_ where functions are introduced.
I decided to experiment by putting a function into a file and importing it
into Idle. Of course, Idle couldn't find it, so I executed the following
command in Bash:
PYTHONPATH=/home/foo/prog/learning_python
export PYTHONPATH
env | grep PYTHONPATH
~$PYTHONPATH=/home/foo/prog/learning_python
Idle still won't find it. I'm doing something wrong?
