Adding modules to path for Canopy

After a new installation of Canopy on Ubuntu, I wanted to make Canopy aware of my personal toolbox of python modules. On my system's Python installation, I achieved this by placing a a text file called "custom_paths.pth" with a list of paths to my Python modules inside the location: 

/usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/dist-packages/

where X.X is the python version.

Since Canopy uses a virtual environment, how does one achieve the same thing?

Using How to access Esri ArcPy modules from Enthought Canopy? as a reference, once can make Canopy's Python interpretor aware of custom modules by placing the .pth file that lists the paths of interest inside the following folder:

/home/USER/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Where the first part of the path is where you installed Enthought Canopy.
