There are many ways to do append paths so Python can find the package.

You can append the path within the code"

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/fooboy/wxpackage')

Use PYTHONPATH from bash:

export PYTHONHPATH=/home/fooboy/wxpackage
(you can run this just from the command-line or put in into your
$HOME/.bashrc (or $HOME/.bash_profile).

Use $HOME/.pythonrc
