== Search Path ==
An <code>import</code> statement refers to python files without any path or extension information. To import <code>C:\work\test\my_test.py</code>, you would just type
<source lang="python">
import my_test
</source>
The interpreter searches in the following locations:
# The current directory.
# The PYTHONPATH variable.
# The standard library

== Importing ==
<source lang="python">
import time
x = time.localtime()
from time import localtime
x = localtime()
from time import *
x = localtime()
</source>

== Test Code ==
Everything in a module file gets executed when the module is first imported. Test code should run only when you explicitly run the module file itself.
<source lang="python">
if __name__ == '__main__':
# run test code
</source>
