I'd say we write a startup program which sits in the same directory as the python15.dll (which is the Python directory for my customers! I don't want to interfere with anything.) This extracts it's executable's program path, chdirs to there, sets the environment internally to "." (which holds now), and the site.py trick always should work.
We would need to remember the original getcwd() and chdir back so the user's "Start in" setting still works. Also, I think it would be better to use the directory of python15.dll, since all of Python is in it, and that is where imports are done. It is not really a feature of the app. Jim Ahlstrom
