On my Windows box the 32bit python27.dll is in C:\Windows\System32\ and the
64bit DLL is in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\. Can you recall the installation order,
did you install the 32 or 64bit version first? Did you choose install for all
users for both
Martin v. Löwis added the comment:
Are you sure that the file in SysWOW64 is a 64-bit binary? On Win64, system32
contains the 64-bit DLLs, and SysWOW64 contains the 32-bit DLLs:

Indeed, on my system, it's exactly reversed to what

No, I'm not sure. I peaked into python27.dll in system32 and saw that it refers
to kernel32.dll. I guess I made the wrong conclusion ... You have to admit that
the naming convention is a tiny bit confusion. ;)

Well all I can say is having installed BOTH the 32 and 64 bit versions, I found
I only had the 32 bit dll installed.
I can raise a second issue for the request to put a copy of the dll in the DLL
directory, so that it's easier to locate the correct dll if
New submission from Keith Sabine:
The windows installers for Python 2.7.3 do not install the required
python27.dll correctly.
The Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.7.3) does not install a 32 bit python27.dll in
windows\system32 at all.
The Windows x86-64 MSI Installer (2.7.3) installs a 64 bit

Did you select an option like install for all users/install just for me at
some point?
