I test Twisted stuff on XP to ensure it will work on inferior ;-) 
systems, and I have no problem setting PYTHONPATH. Seriously though, 
let's say my code is on the desktop (I know, not a good place, but it's 
just for testing):

C:\Documents and 
Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject                                  <-- 
Project root, not a python package, just a directory
C:\Documents and Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src                   
         <-- Source directory, not a python package, just a directory
C:\Documents and 
Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src\pkg1                   <-- Root 
package
C:\Documents and 
Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src\pkg1\test            <-- Root 
package's test package, this is where the unit tests for this level are
C:\Documents and 
Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src\pkg1\pkg2          <-- First child 
package
C:\Documents and Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src\pkg1\pkg2\test   
<-- First child package's unit tests

and so on.

Then I set my pythonPath to :

PYTHONPATH=C:\Documents and 
Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src;C:\Documents and 
Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src\pkg1

If I don't add the src (just a directory, not a package) AND the "root" 
package (pkg1 in my example), it doesn't work, try that maybe. I have to 
export the same thing in Linux, so it's not a Windows XP problem. It may 
be because pkg1 contains nothing except pkg2 (and an __init__.py), and 
all the interesting code is in pkg2. In reality, in my case, pgk1 is the 
company name, and pkg2 is one of the products' name, so you have to 
adapt this to your case.

 I suppose you did either reboot or reload the environment before trying 
anything, if not then it won't work. Now to run the project's code, I do 
this :

cd C:\Documents and Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src
python pkg1\pkg2\my_main.py

And for trail it's the same thing (sort of, replace '\' with '.'), I'm 
going to run all of pkg's tests next :

cd C:\Documents and Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src
trial pkg1.pkg2

or you can specify the test package directly, so it only runs that one :

cd C:\Documents and Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src
trial pkg1.pkg2.test

or if you want to run individual tests :

cd C:\Documents and Settings\User01\Desktop\MyProject\src
trial pkg1.pkg2.test.test_module1

I hope this helps!
