You also need to install the same Windows Python that Zope will repackage.
There doesn't appear to be a sane way to extract binaries (.exe, .pyd,
.dll, .lib) from an .msi installer, and building Python from source is a long
& messy process on Windows. So python.mk just copies them from an installed
Python instead. Cautions:
- If you didn't accept the Python's installer's default directory, or if
you did but it's on a different drive, you'll need to change
WIN_PYINSTALLEDDIR in python.mk.
- The main Python DLL must live in WIN_PYINSTALLEDDIR too. Depending on
how you installed Python, that may be sitting in some Windows system
directory instead; if so, make a copy in the root of your Python
installation.
