I have run into issues with doing "del sys" before, but usually with
respect to my pythonrc file.  Because the import of sys has already
happened, python won't let you import the module again in the same
namespace (in my case, the runtime environment).  I don't know how the
frozen binaries work, but maybe something along those lines is happening?
