Is that the only missing DLL?  That would already have been loaded by
python.exe, so it should not be a problem.

Here's another option.  It is not well known that the newer versions of
"depends" have a trace mode.  You can launch an executable from inside
"depends", and it will trace all of the DLL loads and unloads.  That
might tell you something.
