Ben, I think we're doing exactly that in our code. Exactly when are you
setting PATH? Do you use the runtime_hooks in your .spec file to point to
a boot file, so it happens as part of initialization of the product exe?
XXX.spec contains (among all the other stuff):
analyzed = Analysis(
scripts = [path.join(XXX_ROOT, 'XXX/main.py')],
runtime_hooks = [path.join(XXX_ROOT, 'install/XXX_boot.py')],
...
Then in install/XXX_boot.py we have (obviously Windows-specific):
os.environ['OUR_PRODUCT_INSTALL_DIR'] = 'something'
os.environ['PATH'] = r'%OUR_PRODUCT_INSTALL_DIR_VAR%\bin;' +
os.environ['PATH']
