I'm not sure using pythonnative is the right fix here.  Executing python
using the host python should just work, so why does importing ntpath fail
using your host python?

What happens if you run the host python in a terminal and do "import
ntpath"? Does your host's python have a crippled class library or is broken
in some way?
