Marc-Andre Lemburg <m...@egenix.com> added the comment:

Looking at the code, the whole approach to finding the project base appears to 
be very fragile.

I'd suggest to use a landmark file for finding the project base, say 
"Modules/main.c", and a function which searches all directories on the 
os.path.realpath(sys.executable) for this landmark file in order to determine 
the correct project directory (or none in case Python was not called from a 
Python build binary).

The special cases for PC builds could then be removed.
