In fact, no.

While initial logging shows that gnumed.py of 1.5.7.rc1 is run:

> 2015-08-18 14:07:17  INFO      gm.launcher (gnumed.py::log_startup_info()

apparently from

        C:\Users\marc\Downloads\gnumed-client.1.5.7.rc1\client\

However, Python modules are imported from the systemwide installation

at

        C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\Gnumed\pycommon\

rather than from

        C:\Users\marc\Downloads\gnumed-client.1.5.7.rc1\Gnumed\pycommon\

There's two reasons why this can happen. Either PYTHONPATH
(and thusly sys.path) does not know about

        C:\Users\marc\Downloads\gnumed-client.1.5.7.rc1\Gnumed\

or

        C:\Users\marc\Downloads\gnumed-client.1.5.7.rc1\Gnumed\

doesn't exist -- it is a _link_ to

        C:\Users\marc\Downloads\gnumed-client.1.5.7.rc1\client\

which gets created by gnumed.py when run with --local-import.

Now, sys.path isn't logged (until now) but $PYTHONPATH is:

> 2015-08-18 14:07:18  INFO      gm.launcher (gnumed.py::log_startup_info() 
> #289):                   ${PYTHONPATH}: ..\;

and $PYTHONPATH is what sys.path is initially set to (plus a
few system-internal directories).

This begs the questions:

        Exactly how do you start GNUmed ?

        Does the symlink .../Gnumed/ -> .../client/ exist ?

        What is the current working directory when you start GNUmed ?

I have now added logging of CWD.

I suggest adding --local-import inside gm-from-vcs.bat and
trying again because the outcome of all of the above is that
the tarball runs with the old Python modules installed
systemwide which explains why the old bug still shows.
