Python scans the PYTHONPATH when looking
for PYD files, not the standard program path
(PYD's are extension modules, not executables).

try printing the contents of sys.path inside
your "compiled" script.  in worst case, you
can always add tweak sys.path yourself; e.g:

    import sys
    sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(sys.executable))

or something like that.
