See 6.1.2 http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/tut/node8.html

You could also move to the directory they are in before starting Python (cd).

The way to change directories in Python is (but not the solution to this problem) is "os.chdir()".

I read that, but I couldn't find how to solve my problem.

$ sudo apt-get install ipython
$ ipython


In [1]: %cd 'dir/here'

You are using 'regular' python. Just a different interpreter. I don't see what the big deal is. Quick solution for your question.

What is the directory structure of the module? (Absolute paths please).

[T2manner]

the module is in /home/tyler/Code
all i want to do is import the module in terminal without having to change the directory before i start python

Add this to your code:



import sys
sys.path.append('/home/tyler/Code')


(Unless "Code" is the module, then use /home/tyler)
