python DLLs

[Todd Widup]

so we are setting some paths in a powershell before launching Maya, including to a directory with a few python DLLs. 

when Maya launches the systems that need those dlls fail, but if they are copied to system32 it works. 

Can you think what path would have to be set to allow them to be picked up correctly?  they are already in the PYTHONPATH

I don't know much about windows + python extension but it seems strange that it would work when they are placed in system32. Is system32 part of the pythonpath?
These are definitely python extensions?

pythoncom27.dll pythoncomloader27.dll pywintypes27.dll

those the DLLs, part of pyWin32 , which is just the python for windows.  system 32 shouldn't be.  I know its not in this setup

I think you just need to add these to the system PATH variable. The PYTHONPATH variable is not used when searching for binaries such as .exe and .dll files.
