>>> import urllib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib.py", line 26, in <module>
    import socket
  File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 47, in <module>
    import _socket
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

I also get that if I attempt to import socket.

NOTE this does not happen when I'm in the pythonwin IDE.
