I just sent you a reply via SF about this, but it's more convenient for me 
to discuss it here and post a summary there, so if you prefer, let's 
continue the discussion here.

Yeah, I'm having trouble with your 'path' change, too.  But the other issue 
has nothing to do with the C variable named 'newm'.  It's strictly to do 
with the fact that PEP 302 loaders aren't required to reuse the existing 
module for reload.  This is utterly broken, and I've posted to python-dev 
about it, but gotten no response.  I intend to repost there soon.

Together, maybe we can get the base issue fixed before 2.4 beta, which 
would allow people to package PEAK apps using py2exe and Python 2.4 (or 
2.3.5, if there is one).
