my_modules_unix.py

'''
Function:
Appends my_modules directory path onto the module search path variable.

UNIX Nitty Gritty Details:
Save the file in a location which is along the search python search path.
OR MUST add the location of this saved file to your python path variable 
--- Extra path information ---
(PYTHONPATH - a list of directory names, with the same syntax as the 
shell variable PATH).
Search: 1.2. Environment Variables
https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONPATH
The format is the same as the shell’s PATH: append directory pathnames 
separated colons on Unix. 
An exampe for a bash instance terminal appended to the .bashrc file
on your unix/linus system is:
% export PYTHONPATH="$HOME/bin:$PYTHONPATH"
