I have been experimenting a bit more. I got it working now!
I deleted all my additions to the System Variables "path" and to the User Variables "path". And I added a new variable called PYTHONPATH (pointing the my General Use folder) to the System Variables. After a Win10 "restart" I did "run" "main.py" from the normal dedicated folder, and python now finds my "selfwrittenmodule.py" in the "General Use" folder.
Did I do something wrong earlier? Maybe. Or was the old (and maybe misconfigured Python) cause the problem? That's possible too, I don't know. Though I was convinced that I had tried the PYTHONPATH already earlier and that it did not function at that occasion.
But that it now functions is the only thing that really counts!
Thank you very much for your help!
Now that we are in contact, I still use IdleX as a simple editor and testing tool. I do not need a complete and complex Development Environment (I am not a professional Python programmer. I only use it to ease my own tasks. But sometimes I think that IdleX could provide more assistance and functionality. Can you recommend another, easy to use tool that is more functional (most important: "easy to use")?
