I'm curious how dlls from the DLLs folder on Windows are being loaded? As they are not placed in the same folder where python.exe resides I guess they must be loaded by giving the path explicitly but I'm not sure.

They are in .../DLLs, which is in sys.path before .../Lib. I don't know about virtualenv. (Usage questions should go to python-list.)
