Using Eclipse with PyWin32

Question

I am running Eclipse (Indigo) with PyDev, Python 2.6 and PyWin32 (build 217, 32 bit), and having a problem that gets stranger the more I investigate.

I'm running a Python program that imports the following 3 libraries:

import win32con
import win32file
import pywintypes

win32con imports properly but win32file does not (note: win32con is a pyc and win32file is a pyd, in raw Python):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "....\dynamic\testpywin32.py", line 2, in <module>
    import win32file
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I tried the equivalent in pure Python 2.6 (IDLE) and everything imported properly.

Comparing sys.path in IDLE and Eclipse, the only thing not in Eclipse is ['C:\\Python26\\Lib\\idlelib']; the only extra thing Eclipse has (besides the workspace) is C:\\eclipse\\plugins\\org.python.pydev.debug_2.2.4.2011121401\\pysrc.

In addition, I went on and used the following commands right after startup, through the debugger:

sys.path = [sys.path from IDLE]
os.environ['PATH'] = [os.environ['PATH'] from IDLE]

which didn't seem to help.

What's going on here?
