Let's assume that it is then. If you could write a small test program,
we could then test it on various machines. I have Python 2.4.4 and
2.5.1 on my system.

Fair enough. I'm a c/c++/c# guy and thus my eyes and brain are
instantly alerting when I see global variables. :-)

If possible, I think they should at least be namespaced, so you do
BinReloc.SelfPath, BinReloc.BinDir or similar when accessing them. Is
that doable?

If anyone else on this list knows python coding standards, please feel
free to speak up now.

That would be great. A few paragraphs with an example is enough. Me,
(or taj or curtis who's both native English speaking) can correct it
for spelling and grammar if needed. You don't need to do any special
formatting to make it fit the web or something, I'll do that for you.
