sys.path is just a list. So in your 'main' module where you do most of your imports, just append or prepend the path you desire (the search order is left to right). Although, I believe under Windows creating a system level or user level PYTHONPATH environment variable will enable Windows to pick it up. Not 100% sure as I don't have a Windows machine handy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
