我在哪里放置或如何安装我自己的 Python 模块

Question

Sorry for the super-simple question, it's just that I haven't found a proper answer here (that worked for me).

I've just wrote some demo Python code, a Python module (logically speaking) to be exact, and I want to import this and use it.

Where should I place my module_x.py file? (I'm running on Windows )

I've checked that all the module .py files are placed under ..\\Python27\\Lib directory, but placing my file there doesn't work for me – when I try to run import module_x I get this error message:

ImportError: No module named module_x

Answer 1

The simplest thing is to put it in the same folder as the script that uses it.

If even this does not work, check to see if Windows has snuck in a file extension such ".txt" that isn't visible in the way you are viewing the file name.

As you have time, please read how to deal with modules from a manual or book to learn to do it the right way.
