Importing Modules

• Use the import statement to make a module accessible in your program

>>> import sys
>>> sys.version
'2.2.2 (#1, Feb 15 2003, 00:29:18) 
[GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)]'

• Python tries to find the module in the current directory, the environment variable PYTHONPATH, and finally in an installation-dependent default path
