[issue26998] Unable to import "site" in an embedded application

Steve Dower added the comment: The PEP doesn't really apply to 2.7, apart from explicitly expecting tools to still detect 32-bit and 64-bit versions despite sys.winver being the same. As for sys.winver being incorrect in 2.7.11, that's been fixed (issue25824), but wasn't deemed critical enough

AlexWMF added the comment: I found the following PEP https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0514/ According to this PEP, starting from python 2.7.11 the backward compatibility was broken, because .dll can't read from the following registry keys anymore: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCor

[issue26998] Unable to import "site" in an embedded application

New submission from AlexWMF: Unable to import "site" error occurs in an embedded application. I have made small research and found why this module isn't visible for python core. I have run the python 2.7.11 x86 (for all users) at my win 7x64. The installer writes the registry key "Software\Wow
