It seems my question wasn't precise enough. Meanwhile I know better
what I'm looking for ;-)

Currently I'm deleloping several useful scripts that reside in
*different subdirs* of my import hierarchy. I'd like to be able to
call them from an arbitrary directory, without changing that
directory, so for example I could have my own directory listing by
issuing a command like 
  PYTHON MyDir.py
Though MyDir.py is on the import-path, it seems it isn't found for
executing unless I specify explicitly its exact path.

*** So my QUESTION goes like this:
How can I launch scripts that lie in different subdirs in my import
paths from an arbitrary directory without having to specify the path
of the script and without changing the directory?

Refined: How do I launch 'somewhere/Sweety.py' without 'somewhere/'?
