Ok, the adafruit_character_lcd is in the same directory as yours, and so
is Blinka and Purio. It seems to be a bit of a long path to type to get
to the Adafruit_Charlcd directory, but is there a shortcut way of
getting to the said directory.
Other than to examine the source code of the library you have no need
to specify the directory... Within a Python script, a plain "import" should
work.

`adafruit_character_lcd.character_lcd`
====================================================
Module for interfacing with monochromatic character LCDs
* Author(s): Kattni Rembor, Brent Rubell, Asher Lieber,
Tony DiCola (original python charLCD library)
Implementation Notes
--------------------
**Hardware:**
"* `Adafruit Character LCDs <http://www.adafruit.com/category/63_96>`_"
**Software and Dependencies:**
* Adafruit CircuitPython firmware:
https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/releases
* Adafruit's Bus Device library (when using I2C/SPI):
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice
CLASSES
{AND MUCH MORE}
Thanks for all that information, but first of all using just import
adafruit blinka did not work as it returned bas: import: command not found.
I should say that this is on a raspberry pi zero w, if it makes any
difference.
