Yes, the Py executable is built. I can import sys, os, string etc. But fails
for
socket, for example (Can't import _socket - as expected).

It doesn't get far; the first import of random fails, failing to import
math. It's checking
correctly in the new locations once I set the PYTHONHOME variable.

Didn't try the .tgz. I just mentioned the package I tried as extra
information. I'll dig around
a bit more.
