Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: Most likely, you are using a 32-bit Python on a 64-bit Windows. 32-bit programs can't access c:\windows\system32, as that will contain the 64-bit DLLs. Instead, access is redirected to c:\windows\syswow64.
Please confirm whether or not this is the case here also. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13345> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
