[Geany-Users] Can't import local module

[Lex Trotman]

How are you starting Geany?  Its possible you are starting it in a way
that PYTHONPATH is not set.  Perhaps test it by running a small Python
program with Geany to print sys.path.

Cheers

The many answers suggest fixing the execute command in the Build screen. The difference here is that I can't import a module from my own machine, but that it works at both the terminal and Idle.  I suspect my problem is a PATH issue.  Geany seems like a very nice editor/IDE.  But if I can't import even my own modules, it's not very useful.
