have you tried to copy those file to the current directory an type (or make 
a script with):

import PyMat

either it works or you'll get an exception from python. if you get an 
exception, add it to you next msg. note that pyd must be compiled for a 
specific python (major) version (i.e. 1.5/2.0/2.1 etc.). so you'll need 
Pymat.pyd for 1.5
