title: Add external module to python
body: <p>I want to read Fortran 90 binary files in Python and hence there is this module which has been developed for that in Scipy called as "fortranFile", as given here <a href="http://wiki.scipy.org/Cookbook/FortranIO/FortranFile" rel="nofollow">fortranFile module</a></p>
  
  <p>How do I include this module in python so that I can call it from my code like </p>
  
  <pre><code>import fortranFile
  
  f = fortranFile('file.bin')
  x = f.readReals('f')
  
  print x
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>right now, I get the error</p>
  
  <pre><code>   Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "readfortbin.py", line 5, in &lt;module&gt;
      from fortranFile import fortranFile 
  ImportError: cannot import name fortranFile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I made a folder "fortranFile" in my /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages directory and added the 
  "fortranFile.py" file to that folder. I know that I am missing something... Please suggest how I should proceed.</p>
