Google 'PATH vs PYTHON PATH' to find many entries on the subject.

Very briefly:

PATH lists the directories where the system can find the executables of 
programs.

PYTHONPATH lists the directors where Python can find python modules.
Within a Python script sys.path is initialized with the content of 
PYTHONPATH.
