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

Hope it becomes un-usual with Python !

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

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

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.
