Well, if you are in linux you can do this easily by changing your
PYTHONPATH environment variable, either by changing it explicitely or by
editing it in your .rc files to append the /doc directory.
Although I don't know specifically where this variable might be if you
are using windows, in either case(windows or linux), you can alter this
from python using sys.path
import sys
sys.path.append("/doc")
Hope that helps,
