[Tutor] 'import site' failed error

[nik]

I've drawn a blank trying to find how to get PyRun_SimpleFile to run 
with the verbose option - I found someone mention it on a wishlist, so 
perhaps it isn't possible yet.

So instead I'm just going to ignore it for the meanwhile, since the 
program still seems to output correctly (the good ol' head-in-the-sand 
technique). However, if anyone knows how I can sort it out, please let 
me know.

thanks,
nik
