local moduile acess from cgi-bin

[noro]

hello all.

I do some coding in python but this is my first attampt to write
somthing for hte web.

I need to write a cgi-bin script for a web-server, and i've got the
access for it from our "SYSTEM". the problem is that this script uses
some modules (pg, pyLab) that i've installed localy in my home dir.
Python knows how to find them due to an enviorment variable inthe shell
(please corrent me if i'm wrong).

now, i am by no means big expert about web servers, but if i got it
right, the web server run under some user ("www-data" or such).
so howi can i make this user (and the web) be able to run my python
code without having to install the modules as shared. (which i dont
think they will allow me).

thanks very much
amit

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/amir/<wherever-your-modules-are>')

should do the trick.
