title: How do you correctly set the PYTHONPATH variable on Windows?
body: <p>Whenever I try to expirement with Python on Windows, I always run into a wall with the import statements.  Python simply can't find anything on Windows -- every import, even for something as core as timezone fails.</p>
  
  <p>I know this has something to do with the PYTHONPATH environment variable.  In my case, Python is installed to "C:\Python27".  My PYTHONPATH looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Python27;C:\Python27\DLLs;C:\Python27\Lib
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Still, nothing will import.  I get errors like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>File "D:\Code\Django\polls\models.py", line 3, in &lt;module&gt;
      from django.utils import timezone
  ImportError: cannot import name timezone
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What's wrong with my situation?</p>
