Closing. It seems the days of modifying os.environ['PATH'] on windows are over, and packages need to adopt to calling AddDllDirectory. As long as python is built with ctypes, this is easy enough to adopt, even though there are some caveats. See the issue from anaconda https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/10628
