The show-stopper problem I have so far is that I'm
giving it a script to import that is in exim's config directory

an additional subdirectory to look in when importing modules, but I
couldn't find a simple function in the python api to make it add a
path to the python module loader search paths.
http://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html
says:
==========
There are two environment variables that can modify sys.path. PYTHONHOME
sets an alternate value for the prefix of the Python installation. For
example, if PYTHONHOME is set to /www/python, the search path will be
set to ['', '/www/python/lib/pythonX.Y/',
'/www/python/lib/pythonX.Y/plat-linux2', ...].
The PYTHONPATH variable can be set to a list of paths that will be added
to the beginning of sys.path. For example, if PYTHONPATH is set to
/www/python:/opt/py, the search path will begin with ['/www/python',
'/opt/py']. (Note that directories must exist in order to be added to
sys.path; the site module removes paths that don’t exist.)
==========
So presumably if the exim process modifies its own environment in that
way before starting Python, we get what we need?
