I now have a dll and exe - however when it tried to build the modules, it dies with: Could not find platform independent libraries Could not find platform dependent libraries Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to[:] Fatal Python error: PyInitialize: Unable to get the locale encoding I would look at this line: LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding Normally the standard codec search function is registered when importing the "encodings" module (see Lib/encodings/init.py), which is done at the end of PyCodecRegistryInit() in Python/codecs.c. There's this comment there: /* Ignore ImportErrors... this is done so that distributions can disable the encodings package. Note that other errors are not masked, e.g. SystemErrors raised to inform the user of an error in the Python configuration are still reported back to the user. */ For the purpose of debugging you could not ignore the error and instead print it out or bail out. Thanks - commenting out the ImportErrors block, I get: ImportError: No module named encodings

So seems it's not finding modules - possibly related to the warnings about:

Could not find platform independent libraries Could not find platform dependent libraries

Seems getenv() may not be working correctly...
