I got it to work (!!!) by copying the BLT24.DLL into the SAME 
directory as the python 2.0 executable.

The problem seems to be that the Pmw loader uses the Tcl loader 
which uses the old-style Windows LoadLibrary procedure which uses 
a "standard" set of load paths.  Apparently, the BLT dll is not on any
of  those paths, perhaps because Python puts the tcl directory under
Python20  instead of in "Program Files\Tcl".
