Whoever did the port somehow created a dependency on the

versions of those DLLs available on the web, but they may or may not
be legitimate or current.
I'm aware of that, as I went through the same process, actually
discovered that dependency myself, and ended up having to use dlls off
the net. Eventhough I got this to work in the end, I ultimately found
that this isn't the only extension lib with 'issues', in 2.6 (numpy,
etc..) I finally ditched 2.6 for my app and reverted back to 2.5. My
recommendation is to do the same until things improve in extension
land.
It's a weird dependency, too. Extensions usually have to be built
with the same compiler as the Python core. If someone built this extension with
the Intel C++ compiler for x86 (why else would it need "libguide40.dll" and
"libmmd.dll"), there may be mixed-library compatibility problems.
