Anthony is probably making use of site.py (which can be found in 
<path_to_ironpython>\bin\Lib) to make the Python stdlib accessible to 
IronPython. (That is, unless I'm mistaken.)

Jim mentions[1] a short site.py in one of his recent emails which is 
probably just what you're looking for.

Hope this helps.
