I'm just about out of ideas here.
After looking at the code in import.c, it looks like those 2 bytes
are part of the timestamp that python uses to check if the module
has been modified since it was last compiled to pyc.

Does it crash if you import intpyapp from the python console ?
If you run python in verbose mode, it should tell you where it got
the module from and why it's recompiling it.

python.exe -vv
>>> from pywin.framework import intpyapp
