It looks alongside python25.dll, which is installed in
windows\system32 by default.

If you then ask why the DLL goes in the system directory, I believe
this is to help with Python COM objects, which don't otherwise have
the Python directory on their PATH (and so wouldn't find python25.dll
if it were there).
