This is what I get:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
['c:\\temp\\pytest\\Debug\\python25_d.zip', 'C:\\Python25\\Lib', 'C:\
\Python25\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python25\\Lib\\lib-tk', '', 'c:\\temp\\pytest\
\Debug']

In fact, the 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback happens when I
call the Py_Initialize().

As can be seen from the output, the import sys; and print sys.path
works.  I also added Py_SetProgramName(argv[0]) before calling
PyInitialize() but there was no change.

Thanks,
Steve
