>>> import sys >>> sys.path ['C:\\Python24\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\Python24', 'C:\\Python24\\MyScripts', 'C:\\Python24\\MyBestScripts', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python24.zip', 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\Dick', 'C:\\Python24\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python24\\lib', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\Numeric', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin'] the pyc was in C:\\Python24, and mycalc.py had been moved back to C:\\Python24\\MyScripts. Does the order of folders in the output of sys.path determine the order of looking for a mycalc.* to execute?
