Many thanks Volodya, that works!

My purpose is to have this path automatically appended with no action of the
user, and with portability on various OS. So I added the following lines to
my script:

import os
os.environ['path'] = os.environ['path'] + os.pathsep + "C:/Program
Files/boost/boost_1_38/bin.v2/libs/python/build/msvc-9.0/debug/threading-multi/"

Would you consider it the right way to do that? One advantage seems to be
that PATH is "cleaned" from the appended directory at the end of execution.

Thanks
