pyx.def uses some sort of hard-coded path. It searches at
siteconfig.sharedir (which is C:\Python25\share\pyx\ on your system):
text.py, line 968:
pyxdef = os.path.join(siteconfig.sharedir, "pyx.def")

Yes, of course. Put color.cfg and pyx.def into the directory where pyx
executes LaTeX (or wherever LaTeX finds it). Do not forget to switch
off the "pyxgraphics" option in pyx.text (to deactivate the hack).
Then, you will have to load all packages from the graphics bundle with
the option pyx explicitly:
text.preamble(r"\usepackage[pyx]{color}"}
