This is not necessary because both of these directories are automatically in 
sys.path (just as on the desktop version of Python). If this is not the case 
then it is a bug.

Thanks for the tip. I haven't used sitecustomise.py before but I do use .pth 
files to add my own directories to the search path.

This is true of the 2.3.4 release but in the latest release the hierarchy 
looks like:

\Program Files\Python\
- python.exe
- python23.zip
- python23.dll
- DLLs\
    - _tkinter.pyd
- Lib\

This is intended to be the same as the desktop version of Python on Windows 
(except for the .zip file).

You should already have an 'os' module. Or are there some specific functions 
that it doesn't include?
