Ok, so the wing project file is stored in the "tools" subdirectory of 
the project. (Wing still doesn't really like not having the project file 
in the root directory. I have to expand '..' to use the project browser.)

So I tried to add a custom Python Path to the project of 
"${WING:PROJECT_DIR}/../src". This seems to work ok - but again was 
saved in the wpu and not the wpr. When I reopen the project browser it 
has split this path on the ':' and appears as two entries in the Python 
Path.

For the initial directory (also saved in the wpu) I used 
"${WING:PROJECT_DIR}/..".

So I copied the above and added 'proj.initial-dir', and 'proj.pypath'. I 
then copied those values from the wpu into the wpr.

That seemed to work fine. Thanks very much for the help.

All the best,
