I've appended the output below.  It looks like it's stuck here:

# site.py
95: if os.name == "posix" and os.path.basename(sys.path[-1]) == "Modules":

evaluating sys.path.  Hmm?  It'll take me a while to figure out what's going
on here.

If I put a site.py in the same path as cgipython, will that prevent it from
reading its built-in one?  I need to experiment with that.

Thanks for your help!
