Thanks for the quick response and the tip. I noticed in my recreation 
efforts that wing didn't like '..' in sys.path but I didn't bother you 
with that since using '..' is suspect in the first place (and easily 
avoided by calling os.path.abspath).

I'll give this another try on MiddleKit with your suggestions.
