[python-win32] Module not found weirdness

I ran it on python.exe, pressed F7, then  loaded my .py file by specifying
the filename in the arguments field.

I get the same errors whether I run it via the comand line, desktop
double-click (quick read to see the errors)
or SPE (my IDE of choice). The dlls are found, the problem is with the
SetClipboardViewer
function - which, I assume is a module inside a dll (user32.dll, I believe).
I might be assuming too
much - It could be something else entirely, but it seems to only affect
SetClipboardViewer.

Is there any way I could have broken the clipboard view chain in a way that
doesn't fix itself after a restart?

Is it possible you have multiple copies of Python installed, and that

Nope.  Only  python 2.4.3 is installed.  I upgraded from 2.4.2 hoping it
would solve
the problem. Following the instructions you gave me in your last paragraph
doesn't show me anything unexpected. The path seems to be correct.

Puzzling.
