The Windows binaries of Python require Windows. There is a DOS port of
Python, although it is (was?) difficult to make extension modules such
as Pyrite for it, due to the lack of dynamic loading. Also, Pyrite has
not even been ported to Windows yet. Recompiling pilot-link on DOS is
probably your best bet. I suggest you use DJGPP
(http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/) to compile it, as it provides a very
unix-like environment.
