New To Python and Need Assistance

Hey everyone. I'm starting my great adventure into the world of Python. I'm finding that having a good background in Java and C++ is helping in the learning process (alleviates the strain)

I'm using the IDLE GUI that comes with Python 2.5 on installation. I wrote two Python files; one that has a function in it and a doc string for the function. The other Python file imports the first Python file as a module and calls the function in the file and displays the function's doc string.

The problem I'm having is when I go to run the second Python file, it complains about not being able to find the first file. Is there some way I can modify the editor so that it will search other paths for modules?

For instance, I keep my Python files in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Programming\Python.
