Python 2.4.4 crashes inside a turbogears project

[bulgaro]

Hi everybody.
I hope not to be OT but this is a python problem, not a turbogears
one.
I have a problem when starting a turbogears project.
In my model.py i import an api to work with a db which imports a pyd
library.
It gives me this output:

C:\Turbogears>python start-traffic.py dev.cfg

It looks like it reads the binary file python.exe
I know this is probably a python error but i can't find any solution.
I use python 2.4.4.
Any clue?
Thank you in advance.
