It's not Python that's the issue.  The issue is that if you have a
module with a .dll extension, other programs could accidentally try to
load that module instead of the intended dll, if the module is in the
current directory or system path.  Modules will sometimes find
themselves on the path in Windows, so the fact that Windows performs a
library search on the path is quite significant.
