Nothing. Barry Scott just pointed out to me that the Python 2.0 imputil 
does not by default install any method of importing builtins (even though 
it installs, by default, a file system importer).

Untested: at the top level of archive_rt (after the imports), put:

sys.path.append(imputil.BuiltinImporter())

archive_rt will be imported by the C code long before your script runs, so 
builtins should be available.
