how to install a module from my hard drive
<p>I have another python problem that I am struggling with. I went through online tutorials and documentation but I cannot make it work. </p>

<p>I made a module and I would like to import it in one of my scripts. That's it! 
Online I could find several guides and tutorials about distributing your modules and installing them. This is not what I want. What I want is to have My module on my computer and normally import it inside my scripts as any other python modules.</p>

<p>I tried:</p>

<pre><code>pip install --user my_package 
</code></pre>

<p>I also tried putting the module in different folders inside the python27 directory and then doing import (I get error that the package does not exist).
I tried a combination of the two (putting the package in different folders and running pip.)  </p>

<p>I know this may be a silly question but so far I found tons and tons of information and none of them could answer my question in a specific way. </p>

<p>Thank you in advance for all the help guys</p>

<p>edit: This is the content of my package</p>

<pre><code>my_package/
  bin/
  docs/
  my_package/
    __init.py  
    my_scrip.py
  tests/
  setup.py
</code></pre>
