We have run into some very strange behavior in ActiveState Python 2.2.1,
build 222. We have a fresh installation of this build on a machine from
which every prior release of Python has been stripped. Here's what I
get when I run the following code interactively from my account:
CDRDEV:D:\bkline>python
ActivePython 2.2.1 Build 222 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr 15 2002, 09:51:39) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import win32com.client
>>> win32com.client.Dispatch("ADODB.Connection")
<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Library._Connection>
>>>
Here's what a colleague gets running the same commands from his account:
CDRDEV:D:\bkline>python
ActivePython 2.2.1 Build 222 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr 15 2002, 09:51:39) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import win32com.client
>>> win32com.client.Dispatch("ADODB.Connection")
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is on a Win2K server. Our executable search paths are identical.
We are both members of the Administrators group on the machine. The
Python search path (sys.path) is identical.
What can be happening?
