The issue smells like a problem with embedded manifests and dependency on the MSVCRT assembly. Are you embedding a manifest in the .pyd files or libxml2 and libxslt DLLs? During the development of Python 2.6 MvL has removed all manifests from Python extensions. It solved several issues related to not finding MSVCRT. Since all Python extensions depend on pythonXX.dll and the Python DLL depends on MSVCRT, the MSVCRT assembly is loaded anyway.

Now that you mention it, I think I had manually patched by local installation to disable the manifest embedding like MvL's patch on the laptop that was stolen, but not on the new one. I'll double check. -- Sidnei
