[issue10854] Output DLL name in error message of ImportError when DLL is missing

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

The code is in Python/dynload_win.c

To load an extension module mymodule.pyd, Python calls LoadLibrary('/path/to/mymodule.pyd'); when it returns NULL, the code calls GetLastError() (which returns 126 in this case) then FormatMessage to get an error message.

To get the full path to the .pyd, you can use imp.find_module(), but there is nothing else we can do I fear.
