if you're just using 'import' to import your thubanstart.py, you should
do something like:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'c:\\Documents and settings\username
\ApplicationData\thuban\')
import thubanstart
Then you can include a base thubanstart in your distribution, but
since you're
prepending sys.path with the user's directory in the import path, the
users'
custom one will be imported before the base one, when there is one.
Another alternative (assuming you're using import) would be to not
include
a base one, and do
try:
import thubanstart
except:
# you can set a 'loaded custom module' flag here, or
# possibly do some exception handling for the user's
# custom module
pass
You'll still need to add the users' app data directory to sys.path
though.
