[Python]How do I import files from other directory

[Mister LinOx]

Okay. I have been experimenting with python by creating some programs/scripts and then saving them to my documents/Python Files(created folder). The thing is, I have no idea how to import something OUT of the default python directory.

It was easier in XP, as the default save location was where the other modules were at. In Ubuntu, I can't seem to find this directory or where I should save the files to or how to import them. Help?

import sys
sys.path.append('path/to/your/module')
import mymodule

Or use distutils to install your module. It's gravy.

python myscript.py install

Ah, I see now. Thank you, guys.
I ended up using the:
sys.path.append way.

Does import not follow symbolic links ? if so that might be an option.
