Panupat, please don't top-post, it messes the the natural order of
the discussion. Thanks.
I think the command line should look something along this line
export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/foo/prog/learning_python/:
with a colon at the end.
Nope, the colon is only needed as a delimiter if you give more than
one file.

I am to the point in _Learning_Python_ where functions are introduced.
I decided to experiment by putting a function into a file and importing it
into Idle. Of course, Idle couldn't find it, so I executed the following
command in Bash:
PYTHONPATH=/home/foo/prog/learning_python
export PYTHONPATH
env | grep PYTHONPATH
~$PYTHONPATH=/home/foo/prog/learning_python
Idle still won't find it. I'm doing something wrong?
$ export PYTHONPATH=~/src/python/
$ idle
works fine here. Where are you setting PYTHONPATH and from where do
you run idle? If you set it in a terminal window, but run idle from
a Desktop menu it won't work as exporting environment variables does
only affect sub-processes. You might want to set PYTHONPATH in your
~/.bash_profile and then re-login.
Also, how do you name your file? A Python module must end in .py
