I am having trouble figuring out how to import modules not located on the home
directory or standard library of modules. Meaning say I write a module and
instead of saving it on the home directory I save in a folder in my desktop. I
do not know how to retrieve it by way of the import statement. I know it has
something to do with the PYTHONPATH or .pth, however I am not sure how to
configure these, right now I am reading Learning Pythong 3rd ed. by Mark Lutz
and unfortnately that book has a lot more words then examples so I am usually
left to figure alot of the concepts myself while rereading word for word to try
to figure out how the heck it applies to IDLE and practical uses for code. I
thoroughly understand modules and how to import them when they are in the home
directory or standard library, thats pretty simple, however like I said I do
not know how to import files outside of these directories. I am using windows 7
and python 2.6.5
Lets say I want to load a file called quiz located in C:\Users\Julius
Hernandez\Desktop\Python2.6.5\Online Course\Chp.4
How would I configure PYTHONPATH or .pth or what ever to import this file from
IDLE
I am also having slight trouble understanding module packages as well, though I
suspect it has something to do with not knowing how to configure PYTHONPATH or
.pth files
Thanks =) ~Julius H.
