How the Python import system works

I don't get it. Where do you define which Lisp-to-Python translator to use? It certainly doesn't seem to know on its own.

    $ touch foo.l
    $ python3
    >>> import foo
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'foo'

Close!

  git clone https://github.com/shawwn/pymen -b ml
  cd pymen
  touch foo.l
  bin/pymen
  (import foo)

It's a bit of a WIP (notice this is on the `ml` branch, not mainline), but it does work. >:)

You need nodejs to be installed too, ha.

I'm guessing something else needs to be imported first.
