[Tutor] 'import site' failed error

[nik]

Hi Kent, that was a quick reply!

I've embedded the interpreter in a C app, and so the python file is 
called using PyRun_SimpleFile(fp, "demo2.py");
so, I'm not too sure how to put the -v option in there (I'm doing some 
websearching on it now).

I tried a simple python file like print "hello", but it didn't come up 
with the import site error, so I guess it's more to do with the 
embedding or my module thingy?
