Hi! I'm curious how dlls from the DLLs folder on Windows are being loaded? As they are not placed in the same folder where python.exe resides I guess they must be loaded by giving the path explicitly but I'm not sure. I'm asking because there's no DLLs folder being created when creating virtualenv and I suspect it should be. This is a followup to my question "Why doesn't virtualenv create DLLs folder?" (http://stackoverflow.com/q/6657541/95735) and to the virtualenv's issue 87 - "Problems creating virtualenv on Windows when Python is not installed for all users.". Regards, Piotr Dobrogost

They are in .../DLLs, which is in sys.path before .../Lib. I don't know about virtualenv. (Usage questions should go to python-list.) -- Terry Jan Reedy
