I don't know about blenderplayer, but i know it is possible to 'import
os' in a python script in the game engine, when using a normal version
of blender. If you remove all other windows and headers, and enable
autostart in the game menu, blender just looks and acts like
blenderplayer. You'd just have to pass a blender file to the blender
executable in autorun.inf.
