I'm trying to use some third party assemblies that pull their config out of the application config file. In VS.NET land this would be taken care of by the app.config which would create an appropriate appname.exe.config file in the bin directory for the build. In trying to mirror this behaviour I've naively tried adding c:/Python23/python.exe.config in the python build directory since strictly this is the exe that's being run. It's very dubious and doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to programatically tweak this? Cheers, A.
