Are you sure they're absolute?  They should be stored as the strings you 
enter.  You can look at the .wpr/.wpu file (they're text) to verify 
this.  Wing will complain if you have a python path with relative 
directories because they cause problems for the debugger when the script 
being debugged changes the directory.  A better approach may be to use 
an environment variable or the ${WING:PROJECT_DIR} pseudo environment 
variable.

You can move individual setting into the .wpr file by setting 
proj.shared-attribute-names in the .wpr file w/ a text editor.

This would get you the same as the default:

proj.shared-attribute-names=['proj.shared-attribute-names', 
'proj.directory-list', 'proj.file-list', 'proj.file-type', 
'proj.main-file', 'testing.test-file-list', 
'testing.auto-test-file-specs', 'testing.test-framework']

This would add in proj.pyexec:

proj.shared-attribute-names=['proj.shared-attribute-names', 
'proj.directory-list', 'proj.file-list', 'proj.file-type', 
'proj.main-file', 'testing.test-file-list', 
'testing.auto-test-file-specs', 'testing.test-framework', 'proj.pyexec']
