Well, it should work the way it is distributed. The idea is that
sapdb/sql.py picks the binary from the right subdirectory.

If you want to conserve space because you need only one python version, then
the following layout should also work:

> sapdb
> sapdb\__init__.py
> sapdb\dbapi.py
> sapdb\dbm.pyd
> sapdb\loader.pyd
> sapdb\sql.pyd

This is also advisable if you work with py2exe or something similar.
Otherwise, the tool tries to package the extensions for all the python
versions and then tries to find the matching python runtimes.
