[PythonCE] Problem calling python

[Luke Dunstan]

While you are debugging this, please be aware that unlike most operating 
systems, Windows CE has no concept of a "current directory" at all. The 
command prompt gives the illusion of a current directory for convenience but 
once you start another program it will have no way of knowing what the 
command prompt current directory was. PythonCE also emulates a current 
directory for compatibility with other Python platforms but it is always 
"\Temp" when you start PythonCE. You can see what the current (emulated) 
directory is using os.getcwd().
