Thanks for your answers Martin and Peter, I figured out why python.exe was asking for MSVCR80.dll. The first time I compiled the library, MS Visual C++ Express 2005 was used during the build (despite my PATH pointing to MS Visual C++ Toolkit 2003). When I removed Express 2005, I forgot to remove the build directory of my library. I've also had to remove and reinstall the C++ Toolkit, the platform SDK and the .NET Framework SDK and modify msvccompiler.py and my environment variables according to:
