Well, the jury is still deliberating on the specifics, however, as for myself, i would sway more to the /explicit/ side. 

A few possibilities include:

 * A configuration file. Python already checks the current
   directory for ".pth" files, which it then reads and adds
   the contained paths to sys.path --  most folks stopped
   typing commands OVER and OVER on the commandline many
   years ago. But to each his own.
 
 * A runtime command or keyword placed in a script (YUCK!)
 
 * A commandline switch (only good for members of the
   python historical society.)
