Log: issue 9910 Add a PySetPath api to override magic path computations when starting up python. Modified:  python/branches/py3k/Doc/c-api/init.rst  python/branches/py3k/Include/pythonrun.h  python/branches/py3k/Modules/getpath.c  python/branches/py3k/PC/getpathp.c Modified: python/branches/py3k/Doc/c-api/init.rst +.. cfunction::  void PySetPath(const wchart *) + +   .. index:: +      triple: module; search; path +      single: path (in module sys) +      single: PyGetPath() + +   Set the default module search path.  If this function is called before +   :cfunc: PyInitialize then :cfunc: PyGetPath won't attempt to compute +   a default serarch path but uses the provided one in stead.  This is useful +   if Python is being embedded by an application that has full knowledge +   of the location of all modules.  The path components should be separated +   by semicolons. + +   This also causes sys.executable to be set only to the raw program name +   (see :cfunc:PySetProgramName) and for sys.prefix and +   sys.execprefix to be empty.  It is up to the caller to modify these if +   required after calling :cfunc: PyInitialize. + This needs a versionadded.

Did you noticed " ... The path components should be separated by semicolons." ? I would expect os.path.pathsep, after all paths are not OS-independent.
