You seem to be having a problem with the import path of the embedded interpreter. I suppose the embedded interpreter includes some modules in a particular folder and _socket is not one of them. For the sake of debugging try adding the c:\python25\lib path to the sys.path variable of the interpreter before attempting to import rpdb2.
