It certainly hardcodes them, but why do you say they are the "wrong"
paths?  Those are the paths where the Windows package puts QMTest, if I
recall correctly.

In any case, I think your patch is an improvement.  Older versions of
Python in combination with older versions of Windows didn't like having
a space in QM_HOME, but I don't think we need to worry about that now.

Have you tested your patch?

I'll check it in after I do so.

Thanks,
