The python22.dll distributed by PythonLabs was built on a Win98SE box. It
doesn't depend on apphelp.dll. I've never been on an XP box, and there is
no apphelp.dll on any machine I do use. Here are the system DLLs it does
depend on:
ADVAPI32.DLL
KERNEL32.DLL
USER32.DLL
MSVCRT.DLL
SHELL32.DLL
Those in turn depend on (transitive closure):
COMCTL32.DLL
GDI32.DLL
NTDLL.DLL
RPCRT4.DLL
SHLWAPI.DLL
That's it.
