This generally means that cephes.pyd is dependent on _another_ DLL, and that DLL can't be found.

If you have msvc, run "dumpbin /imports cephes.pyd | grep -i dll" and you will get a reasonable list...  There are also freeware programs around that can tell you dependencies in a much nicer way, but I don't use one.
