how can I change the path that python takes to run certain files, I'm
starting to create game and I want those in separate folders, so how can I
change it so that python runs the program with the files from that folder?

Hi Quentin Bock,
this is a very dense subject. The simplest sulution is to create a
MainFolder with the main module of your game. Then in that folder,
create a SubFolder where you can store the modules your game wants to
import.
The alternative is to use the Environment variable $PYTHONPATH
<https://scipher.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/setting-your-pythonpath-environment-variable-linuxunixosx/>
Setting Your PYTHONPATH environment variable (Linux/Unix/OsX)
Open your personal .bashrc file at /home/<YourName>/.bashrc
Note that this is a hidden file
Add these 2 lines :
PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/path/cool/python/package/"
export PYTHONPATH
These checks the settings :
import os
import sys
print(sys.path)
print(os.environ.get('PYTHONPATH', ''))
