You are obviously investing serious time with Python, so you should try and
go to the next level.  Compile the whole shabang with Debugging symbols, and
work it out :-)  The biggest advantage is that it will give you a good
understanding of the internals, making many of these questions suddenly
become either obvious or moot.

For example, you ask how to turn "-v" on from the API - simple - go to the
Python sources, work out how it does -v, then do the same thing!  Should be
easy to find.

Similarly with the path issue.  Set a breakpoint where Python is about to
start building your sys.path.  Step through it, and understand exactly why
it is building a sys.path that does not include the directory where your
"exceptions.py" and "site.py" live.  The answer will then be obvious (even
though I have no idea what it is :-)

Hope this helps, even if it points to a slightly longer, but far more
beneficial road.

Mark.
BTW - what editor control are you using? - I happen to know this guy who has
written a really cool free one that Pythonwin now uses - Ive got some big
plans :-)
