There are two quick ways to hack together custom imports in Python. One is by using the `PYTHONPATH` environmental variable, and the other way is by using the `sys` module in Python.
## Method 1: `PYTHONPATH`
Before you call `python` set the environmental variable.
```bash
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/other/path
```
Then you can call `python`.
## Method 2: `sys`
In the beginning of your Python script add the following code.
Of course this isn't the best way to add custom libraries to your Python scripts. Ideally, we would use `pip` to manage our dependencies. Perhaps a future blog post will cover this!
