include a python class in another python script.

[KraftDiner]

I have a class that is defined in a file called MyClass.py

How do I use that class in another python script..
import MyClass ? (Does it need to be in a specific location?)

Same directory as the script that's importing it, or in the PYTHONPATH.

import sys
print sys.path

MyClass.py has to be on your "python path". Your python path is a list
of directories python will search (in order) when you do an import
statement. By default, your current working directory is the first
place Python will search. You can also customize your python path.
Check out this part of the docs for more info:
