You want to look at the PYTHONPATH environment variable

(If you know how to set this, skip the next bit)

You'll need to go to your computer's properties, select
[Advanced] (!) and then [Environment Variables], select
[New] and type in a name of PYTHONPATH and a value of
c:\python23\examples\py. [OK] all the way back out to
reality.

(end of explanation)
