Hi Felix - 

Right now to import an assembly it either needs to be in the GAC 
or in the "application directory" or a subdirectory thereof.

When running python, the application directory is the directory 
where python.exe lives, not the place where the script you are 
running lives.

One of the things I want to do for the final is see if there is 
a way to have the assembly loader use the python path (sys.path) 
when looking for assemblies.
