Ok, my mistake.  I was launching Pythonwin.exe by double clicking on
the executable, which works when Python is installed "for all users"
and does not work when installed "just for me".  When Pythonwin is
launched by clicking on the shortcut in the start menu, which sets the
CWD to the Python installation folder, it works also when Python is
installed "just for me".

Kind regards,
