I don't have PYTHONPATH as an environment variable at all, but on
examination the file is in the site-packages directory, and is not there
on a fresh install.

Python 2.2.3 (#42, May 30 2003, 18:12:08) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import optparse
>>> optparse.__file__
'C:\\PROGRA~1\\Python22\\lib\\site-packages\\optparse.pyc'
>>>

Since I didn't (explicitly) install this, I suppose one of the other
packages I have must have done this for me.  Apologies for any
misleading information :)
