Hmm, interesting. Looks like sys.path is empty at this point.
I wonder whether this is a bug in the frozen cgipython built
or just a consequence of freezing the interpreter.

Could you try setting PYTHONPATH to the dir where cgipython
lives ?

Since the stuff currently done in site.py doesn't really
make all that much sense here, I think cgipython should
probably use an empty site.py file instead of the standard
one (should enhance startup times even more).

Good question. It probably doesn't even start looking for
it since it's already preregistered in the built-in 
modules.
