import

[jolly]

Hey guys,

I'm rather new to python and i'm have trouble(as usual)

I want to know if it is possible to change where 'import' looks....
this will save me clogging up my python directory

Thanks

Yes. You can tell python where all to look for importing modules.

import sys
sys.path.append ("/this/is/my/modules/path")

Thanks

Easily done. The value of sys.path is a list of directories that import
looks through to satisfy an import. Just import sys and append a new
directory to sys.path.

import sys
sys.path.append ('/your/directory/of/importable/modules')
// Then import code from your directory.
