Add Project path into sys.path

[linbwu]

I add MyLibrary/MyLibrary.py in my project path, when open the path, get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'MyLibrary', I add the project path into sys.path and solved this. Can RIDE add the project path into the sys.path when open it?

below is the patch for project.py

@linbwu A long time has passed, and now is time to re-check this on new version 2.0b2.

If you add the path to libraries in PYTHONPATH (Tools->Preferences->Importing) would solve the problem? Then we don't need to modify code.

Thanks.
