OK it seems to ignore 2.1\PythonPath default value
        C:\Python\Lib\plat-win;C:\Python\Lib;C:\Python\DLLs;C:\Python\Lib\lib-tk

but the subkeys
PythonWin=C:\Python\Pythonwin
win32=C:\Python\win32;C:\Python\win32\lib
win32com=C:\Python 

seem to be respected. I have changed z2.py to eliminate these and my
 path now looks OK.
Seems to me like an official 'install' should take care
to eliminate initial paths which aren't below sw_home\bin.
