yes, but it would be just as easy to get the failure to do that. The
message may come from windows, but the extension (in our case zlib)
still wasn't loaded and that should have been enough, but we had a
try/except around the particular import. Finding a matching pyd/dll
which then fails to load is surely not 'just an import error' even if it
eventually gets raised as one.
