I'm not using Windows, but in my psp.py file there is:

    # if filename is not absolute, default to our guess
    # of current directory
    if not os.path.isabs(filename):
	base = os.path.split(req.filename)[0]
	self.filename = os.path.join(base, filename)

Assuming you're giving the PSP constructer a relative pathname, you
can try something like this in your method to see what this is doing
in your setup:

  raise 'DebugError', [req.filename, os.path.split(req.filename)]

Hope this doesn't sound like a cop-out, but look at the source.  It
may sound daunting at times (it does to me :), but it's worth it.
That's one nice thing about Python: you don't spend so much time
tripping over someone's style when reading their code.
