I suspect that the reason python isn't finding any modules, is because
the C wrappers do some funky stuff with the environment variable
PYTHONPATH before python is exec()ed.  I have no NT experience
whatsoever, so you'll need to get someone else to confirm whether
messing with that environment variable is likely to affect Win-Python
at all.

If it is, have a look in src/common.c, and convince yourself that the
magic involving PREFIX, SCRIPTDIR, MODULEDIR, PYTHON and run_script()
works as it should.

Good luck,
