.. index:: triple: module; search; path
When a module named :mod:`spam` is imported, the interpreter searches for a
-file named :file:`spam.py` in the directory containing the input script (or
-the current directory), and then in the list of directories specified by the
-environment variable :envvar:`PYTHONPATH`. This has the same syntax as the
-shell variable :envvar:`PATH`, that is, a list of directory names. When
-:envvar:`PYTHONPATH` is not set, or when the file is not found there, the
-search continues in an installation-dependent default path; on Unix, this is
-usually :file:`.:/usr/local/lib/python`.
