OK ...

I think I'm beginning to suss a possible reason for this and one that
implies it is purely a Windows issue.

If I place the python files I am running in a subfolder of Python it's
fine, if I place in a sub folder of that it's fine, if I create another
subfolder it is not fine. If I place the files in a subfolder of c: it's
fine and likewise for a sub folder of that but any deeper and it's a no, no
so it appears that Python can (on Windows XP at least) only handle a
program running from a nested folder or less ... anything more than two
levels of folder and it can't handle it. Not sure whether it is (if indeed
I am right) the depth of folders of the length of the pathname but its
something to work with :-)
