I miss: we work under WindowsNT4 SP5.

With commenting the 'try' lines about the win32api in abspath function
in python standard module ntpath.py (which call
win32api.GetFullPathName), our script works. 
Maybe a Windows specific lock.

Note: we have tried with and without the python windows extensions
installed, in both case we must comment out win32api use.

A+

Laurent.
