I'm fine with doing that, but how do you find the path you need to
insert into sys.path?  The amp.py that it includes is inside
MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/site-packages.zip -- a ZIP
file!  Does sys.path support zip files??
sys.path.insert(0,'../Resources/lib/python/2.5/site-packages.zip/twisted')
??
