The easiest way is to mirror the directory structure of a standard Python  
install. Python looks for Lib/os.py and, once found, derives all the other  
paths from here. See PC/getpathp.c in the source distribution.

You have these alternatives:

- put a lib\* containing at least os.py below the directory containing  
your main executable.

- set a PYTHONHOME variable

- call Py_SetProgramName

- completely replace getpathp.c with your own functions
