Use C++ __FILE__ rather than Python __file__ to find indra work area.
In this case, the Python code in question is being written from a C++ string literal to a temp script file in a platform-dependent temp directory -- so the Python __file__ value tells you nothing about the location of the repository checkout. Embedding __FILE__ from the containing C++ source file works better.
