On my Windows machine I get:

['', '.', 'N:/prd/winlease/vest', '.\\DLLs', '.\\lib',
  '.\\lib\\plat-win', '.\\lib\\lib-tk', 'f:\\bin']

PYTHONPATH is N:/prd/winlease/vest.
os.path.dirname(sys.executable) is F:/bin.
The others are junk.  What do you get?  Did
you change sys.path from the default?

We distribute our app by freezing all *.py files
into a DLL, and we don't set PYTHONPATH on the
target machine.  The files are located with the
executable file and are found there.  This works
fine and we don't have a problem with it.

It would help me a lot if you could describe how you
distribute your app.  Do you set PYTHONPATH on the
target machine?
