from PC/getpathp.c:538 if (pythonhome != NULL) { char *p; bufsz = 1; for (p = PYTHONPATH; *p; p++) { if (*p == DELIM) bufsz++; /* number of DELIM plus one */ } bufsz *= strlen(pythonhome); } The second last line should probably read bufsz += strlen(pythonhome);

Hmm, not sure. Try with set PYTHONPATH=.\a;.\b sys.path will contains the entries: <current_dir>\a <current_dir>\b a multiplication seems necessary.

Before the multiplication, "bufsz" is not aptly named: as your snippet shows it's counting the number of delimiters in the PYTHONPATH.
