Hi Dave,

I can tell you where the error comes from, but I don't know how to fix 
it correctly:

Python consists of the DLL that you have lined it with plus a large 
number of files (standard library) which contain, e.g., the encoding 
data and builtin functions etc. It needs to find these in order to run. 
You could set PYTHONHOME as an environment variable to point to that 
folder. If you don't use the regular Pyton installer, then you need to 
install these files yourself. Maybe there is also a way to set it from 
the C code.
