Right, copying site.py into my program's working dir sorts out 
the missing module error, but I now get a syntax error:

     file=sys.stderr)
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Error executing command run: Program exited with code 1

I googled this, and apparently it's caused by an older 
interpreter. The only files I have transferred over are:
   python3.DLL
   python3.LIB
   python34.LIB

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong, or how I 
can fix this?
