title: How to use a module stored in a different directory in Python
body: <p>I am making a python 3.6 program which involves the use of a few 3rd party modules. Is it possible to configure my program to use modules stored in the local folder (C:\Users\username\directory\filelocationfolder\modules) rather than the default location for modules installed to python (C:\Python36\Lib\site-packages)?</p>
  
  <p>This way, I could send someone the folder containing my program and they would not need to have the required modules pre-installed.</p>
  
  <p>I am somewhat new to Python, so I would appreciate if you could explain your answers.</p>
