thats the file path.  the directory "bin" in my home directory.  in bash it 
obviously looks like this  "~/bin" using the file system folder the path is 
home/Home/bin.  i have tried commands like, export 
PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/users/matt/bin or home/matt/bin or Home/home/bin and 
nothing has worked.
from what ive found on the web the Python import process is notoriously 
underspecified, notwithstanding i was under the impression that PYTHONPATH is a 
global variable that i can add directories to at anytime to tell Python where 
to look, without having to add some sort of code to every program.  is this 
impression incorrect?  is there some code i need to add to the Python program 
call the modules in the "bin" dir?
