Modifying default module source paths in python at the language level
<p>1) I don't want to run git on my usr/local/lib</p>

<p>2) I would prefer to store this module within a /home/thrive/python_projects folder</p>

<p>3) I'm attempting to change where python sources the module from, when using the "import"  statement</p>

<p>I've found a few leads and I plan to post the answer here when I get it.</p>

<p>leads:</p>

<ul>
<li><p><a href="http://docs.python.org/library/imp.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.python.org/library/imp.html</a></p></li>
<li><p><a href="http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.path" rel="nofollow">http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.path</a></p></li>
</ul>

<p>SO far the best suggestion is modifying the system path. However I believe that modifying the source with the language itself would be better for an open source project.</p>

<p>So how can I change this in Python?</p>
