Re: Problem importing locally installed python modules for spyce script

"site-packages" being scanned for modules before directories in
PYTHONPATH is standard Python behavior, not Spyce-specific.

One workaround it to just say

import sys
sys.path = ['/my/directory'] + sys.path

to make your directory highest priority.

P.S.  Paragraphs are your friend!
