title: Where to put python module i need for several projects?
body: <p>Let's say I have a python module called <em>custom_colors.py</em> in which I create some variables I am using in multiple projects in different working directories. So I am wondering what's the best practice of how to work with such helper files?</p>
  
  <p>copy them into each project's folder?</p>
  
  <p>So far I thought about creating a folder for all helper files like this and import whenever needed</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  # change workding directory to helper files folder and load own modules
  os.chdir(helper_files_path)
  import utils.custom_colors as cc
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but for this approach I always need to change the working directory first.</p>
  
  <p>How do you guys handle such stuff?</p>
