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 it 
instead of in "Program Files\Tcl".

Try this:

copy entire  BLT2.4 directory from (Python) ---tcl\lib
                              to            ---tcl\tcl8.3
copy blt24.dll from (Python)  tcl\bin
                 to           \windows\system

This seems to work for me on clean install tests.
