title: Import non-standard python module in Jython
body: <p>A quick question... I'm using Jython to do some tasks, and I need to access some MySQL Databases... I've found a MySQL Database Connector for Python2.5; it doesn't come with the jython/python installation (it's 3rd party). I've placed the module's folder in the same directory as my main.py, but when I launch it, it tells me that it can't find the module. I've done this before in Python3.2 for importing and I thought it would work the same. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Can Jython import non-standard python modules? -- Note I can import Java classes just fine.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Here is the Error (Yes, this is for Minecraft):</p>
