		+	We will need to make the new module available to your python installation. A good way to do this is to add the following to your shell start-up file, called '''~/.bashrc''' (the '''~''' indicating that the file is in your home directory):
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/py/lib/python2.6/site-packages
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	then, in order to re-read that start-up file, you will need to type:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	source ~/.bashrc
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	The next time you open a new shell, your '''PYTHONPATH''' will be set automatically, and you won't need to bother with all that '''source ..''' malarky.
