Wing figures out the Python Path by actually asking Python what 
it is, so if your *.pth file is in one of the four documented 
locations, it should be picked up.

See http://docs.python.org/lib/module-site.html

I take is these files are not in one of the locations defined in 
the above URL?

In any case, you should be able to work around this by setting 
Python Path in Project Properies.
