Please show us the output of:

import sys
print sys.version

import platform
print platform.platform()

import imp
print imp.find_module("_socket")

imp.find_module() may either return "_socket" as first argument if the
_socket module is builtin or return the full path to a file. When it's a
full path please install http://www.dependencywalker.com/ and examine
the _socket.pyd file with the tool. It will show you the missing DLLs.
