Thanks Jeff and Ken,
In the end I used:
iniFile = emc.ini(os.environ['INI_FILE_NAME'])
emc.nmlfile = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.environ['INI_FILE_NAME']),
iniFile.find("EMC", "NML_FILE"))
A bit ugly but it gets the job done.
the environment variable 'NMLFILE' does not seem to be available
When running from inside the emc script, the environment variable
INI_FILE_NAME holds the inifile, and the environment variable NMLFILE
holds the nmlfile.
AXIS generally passes a "-ini" flag to subprograms that benefit from it,
like debuglevel.

Look in the file: .emcrc. The GWiz source code shows how to access this;
but it is the same format as a .ini file. Use section PICKCONFIG,
variable LAST_CONFIG to access it.

Thanks Jeff,
Unfortunately that raises another problem. I need to find the ini file.
Axis knows this because it is passed on the command line. I think to get
this tool change stuff working correctly I will need to integrate it
into Axis anyway.

You need to set emc.nmlfile to the right path to emc.nml before creating
the stat and command objects.
This is how it's done in axis:
emc.nmlfile = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[2]),
inifile.find("EMC", "NML_FILE"))
hal_manualtoolchange doesn't need to do this because it doesn't use
I am working on manual tool change code that allows you to use
jogging/mdi during the tool change but I have hit a problem. Here is a
code snippet from my version of the manual toolchange Python HAL module:
import emc, hal
import rs274.options
emcStat = emc.stat();
emcCmd = emc.command()
def do
