In addition, you need to remove the win32 from your local install (or piss around with sys.path to strip out those local references) as that will automatically be included. In addition, there is a registry setting you need to delete which automagically adds to the python path - it's in HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
That's probably won't solve your problem but it's somethng to be aware of anyways.
