Well, I was hoping for something a bit more general. I'd've thought that anyone loading a DLL would set the Windows path beforehand, and that it would all be magically taken care of during the installation. For now, I'm putting this before my 'import' statement: os.environ['PATH'] += r';C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pywin32-210- py2.5-win32.egg\pywin32_system32' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
