You would have to see the Filemon log!

Python searches modules along the directories in sys.path - if you see it looking at w:\foo\bar\baz I bet that such directory is included there. Well, it might not be a directory but a zip file, or you might have installed some import hooks (have you?) but on the most common cases, a simple scan along sys.path is performed.

Anyway, then is there a way to tell Python not to look for pyd/dll and
others in certain locations? In locations were you expect not to have
such files for example?

I'm not really sure, but I don't think it could be done.
The OS does a similar scan when looking for needed libraries at program startup. Are you sure that *this* behavior is what causes your slow startup? What OS/filesystem are you using? Are you loading your application across the network, using a file share, samba or something like that?
