title: How make work import of python26.zip on windows
body: <p>I need to deploy a embeded version of python26.</p>
  
  <p>I have it working under windows folowing the setup of <a href="http://www.portablepython.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.portablepython.com/</a>.</p>
  
  <p>However after <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/789598/what-is-the-easiest-way-to-build-python26-zip-for-embedded-distribution">read this</a> I try to pack everything into a zip file, and left out python.exe, python26.dll. However, that not work if python is not pre-installed.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I try pre-compilling everything with <code>python -m compileall .</code>, but not do the trick.</p>
  
  <p>When run python this way, this is the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>'import site' failed; use -v for
    traceback</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This is the traceback:</p>
  
  <pre><code># installing zipimport hook
  import zipimport # builtin
  # installed zipimport hook
  # zipimport: found 1283 names in D:\Bajados\Adobe\python26.zip
  'import site' failed; traceback:
  ImportError: No module named site
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to know the inner details that could make this work.</p>
