What modules are being loaded. You can look at the __file__ attribute on the loaded modules to see which actual files those imports correspond to. You are going to want to instrument PC/import_nt.c in the Python source code.

It is not in my Python installation so it is not a std Python (or ActivePython) thing. Look in HLKM/Software/Python/PythonCore/X.X/PythonPath/. Do any of the entries under that registry keys include "c:\winnt\system32"?
