    finally:
        os.environ["PATH"] = origPath

    try:

            if module.parent.path is not None:
                path = os.pathsep.join([origPath] + module.parent.path)
                os.environ["PATH"] = path
                self._CopyFile(module.file, target, copyDependentFiles)
            else:
                path = os.pathsep.join([origPath, os.path.dirname(module.parent.file)])
                os.environ["PATH"] = path
                print '========================================================'
    finally:
        os.environ["PATH"] = origPath
