When I kept running into all these problems I copied the books to the ..\scripts folder to make life a bit easier. I don't think that there was ever a problem with paths; I had to invoke the python exe program even though the .py scripts are clearly associated with it.
This is not something that I'm planning on doing very often, and now I know the workaround I can cope. I would agree that it is untidy and I'm not 100% happy with it but life's full of compromises and this is a really minor one.
Thank you again for all help.
