How do I set python environmental variables for Volatility

I'm trying to setup volatility so I can execute commands regardless of what directory I happen to be in at the time. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I've set the environmental variables with the export command. I've double checked my my ~/.bashrc and even added the directory to /etc/enviroment. Running echo $PATH=vol.py returns /mydir/volatility/vol.py. But when I run python vol.py I get "python: can't open file 'vol.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory" .

So I guess my question. How can I set evironmental variables for python so that when I run python vol.py it executes on whatever image file I point it to without being in the volatility directory? Or even better just type vol.py -f whatever/imagefile, the system recognizes it as a python script and executes.

I figure its probably something simple, but I'm still learning, so any help is much appreciated.

My system : Kubuntu 14.04LTS; Python 2.7; Volatility 2.4
