I have no idea what are you doing in your code or if the following has
something to do with your problem, but sometimes it good to know, that
Windows requires Unicode strings as parameter and giving full path file
names is always better than to rely on some default mechanisms.

I doubt it's the problem, but "sys" is probably not the best name to
use... It shadows the Python sys module...
