Import error? (PYTHON 3.2)
Question: I have my own module named v_systems, and I'm trying to import that module in
another python file (which is also saved in the same directory as the file
v_systems is saved) I need to import it as `import v_systems as vs` or even if
I try to import as `import v_systems`.

However it gives me an error saying no module v_systems exists.

How may I fix this error?


Answer: It might not be in the system path. Do the following:

It needs to be in the directory of the `sys.path`. What I did is I created a
folder (doesn't really matter where) called "Modules" in which I have all of
my modules that I download/create in there. Say I put it in
`C:\Users\USER\Modules`. You can put this module in there as well.

You need to copy the path to the folder.

Then, go to Control Panel. Click System, then on the left panel there is an
option called "Advanced System Settings". Click that. From the bottom of the
window that pops up, click "Environment Variables". Look to see if you have a
variable created called `PYTHONPATH`. Most likely, you don't. So, create a
variable (in the second section) by pressing "NEW". Name it `PYTHONPATH` and
for the Variable value, put in the file path. (For my example, the file path
is `C:\Users\USER\Modules`). Hope this helps :)

I inserted a screenshot of how to get there once you get to the System
(Properties) location in Control Panel: ![Python
