Adding folder to Python's path permanently

Question

I\'ve written a library in python and I want it to reside in a common location on the file system.

From my script, I just want to do:

>>> im

Another possibility is to alter the sys.path in your sitecustomize.py, a script that is loaded as Python startup time. (It can be put anywhere on your existing path, and can do any setup tasks you like; I use it to set up tab completion with readline too.)

The site module offers a method that takes care of adding to sys.path without duplicates and with .pth files:

import site
site.addsitedir(r'C:\MyFolder\MySubFolder')
