title: add functions to Python standard library?
body: <p>Is there a way to add functions I create to the Python standard library on my local machine? </p>
  
  <p>I come from the matlab world where things aren't really efficient and fast but there are looooads of functions at my fingertips without having to import their files. My problem is that, if I make a function in Python and want to use it, then i will need to also remember the module its in. My memory is shite. I understand that Python is structured that way for efficiency but if I'm adding only a handful of functions to the standard library that I consider very important, I'd guess that the impact to the performance is practically negligible. </p>
