Answer 4

The simplest one, yes, is to put it in the same directory where you have the python importer code. In addition, you can export an environment variable PYTHONPATHthat points to the directory (or directories separated :) where you have it MultipartPostHandler.py. Another option: make it available. This will be useful if you are going to publish your code.
