Probably the best way to do this is to add subDir to your Python Path in 
Project Properties in Wing (accessed from the Project menu).  Also, if 
you put the sys.path.append() in your main debug file (if you have one 
set in your project) then Wing will attempt to read and understand your 
sys.path changes there.
