Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

If .../Tools and its subdirectories had __init__.py files, the presence of 
sys.prefix on sys.path, on Windows, would allow imports from those subdirs.  
Otherwise, it only provides a second way to import stdlib modules.  This seems 
like a bit of a bug.  Guido, do you remember why we have this Windows-only 
feature?
