Either put myfile.py somewhere in your python path (eg. 
/usr/local/python2.3/site-packages/myfile.py) or add the path using 
PythonPath "['/path/to/myfile.py',] + sys.path" in your apache 
mod_python_my_files.conf file.

Note that it is considered to be bad practice to add any directories 
under your document root using PythonPath. You are likely to observe 
strange import behaviour.
