I guess Eclipse saves your PATH variables once the program is started, instead of referencing the os directly. (I just did print "Current path is %s" % os.path.expandvars("$PATH")) and that told me what was going on. Anyway, it's saving the files a .7z which isn't doing me much good. i was under the impression i could save them as .zip, if not I'm just going to have to password protect manually.
