[python-win32] sys.path and PyWin32 scripting engine

[Marc-Andre Belzile]

I'm referring to Python Active Scripting engines available in pywin32. I'm creating them through COM, so I don't tknow if the ActiveX goes through Py_NewInterpreter or not.

I'm not sure what you mean by "new scripting engine".  Modules are
shared between all interpreters in a single process, but when you call
Py_NewInterpreter, it is supposed to get its own private copy of
sys.modules and sys.path (among several others).  Can you be more specific?
