Adding Modules to Python 2.7 Library

Question

I've been adding modules to my library so I may call them for future use but when I write a new module and run that module the compiler does not recognize module unpackapp. For example, I call:

from unpackapp import UnpackApp

Compiler states: "ImportError: No module named unpackapp"

I'm saving to: Python27/Lib

Am I storing my custom modules in the right folder?

Uh, we don't know. Mostly because we don't know what folder they're in in the first place. — Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams

Look into using setup tools and installing using:

python setup.py develop

If you don't want or need the overhead of setuptools, you can update sys.path to reflect where your module can be imported from:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0. "/path/to/your/module.py's/containing/directory")

You can also use "." for a path to refer to the current working directory.
