[issue15828] imp.load_module doesn't support C_EXTENSION type

[Paul Moore]

Paul Moore added the comment:

The applied fix appears to have a regression - the file argument is not allowed to be None. The pywin32 post-install script calls imp.load_module for a C extension with file=None, so presumably this worked in earlier versions.

The regression breaks the postinstall script for pywin32, meaning that the start menu shortcuts do not get installed. I do not know if it has any more serious consequences for pywin32.
