title: imports & pathnames on windows
body: <p>newbie Python question, 2.7.2 on Windows XP</p>
  
  <p>I saved a one-line hello.py file [print "hello there"] in the current directory.</p>
  
  <p>At the command prompt I use import to run the command</p>
  
  <pre><code> &gt;&gt;&gt; import hello
   hello there
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>ok - that's fine.  </p>
  
  <p>But what do you type if hello.py were in a subfolder of the current directory called "tempFolder"?  </p>
