python25.dll is found through mechanisms of the operating system, not
through code in Python. The operating system loads DLLs in the order
specified here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/dynamic-link_library_search_order.asp

As you can see, the directory containing the application is searched first.
