[issue44193] socket line 46 import _socket Import Error

[Joshex]

New submission from Joshex :

I assume someone has already fixed this problem, as I am using a very old 
version of python compatible with my version of blender. Though after 
searching, I found results for the same error message only a month or 2 ago.

anyways, my version of python 2.6.2 is out of support. but I assume if this has 
recently been fixed for more recent python modules, the same sort of fix could 
be applied to my install.

The problem is, I am on 64 bit windows 7 with 64 bit python 2.6.2 installed to 
use blender 2.49b. I have a 32 bit computer and verified the error does not 
appear when importng the socket module there! only on my 32 bit computer., I 
tried uninstalling 64 bit python from C:\Python26 and reinstalling to 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Python26. I have updated the system environment 
variables, to include this in the python path.

and I still get 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python26\LIB\socket.py", line 46, in  
import _socket 
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application

I would be happy if someone remembered the fix for this so I could apply it 
myself.

Same error when importing Tkinter

it looks like any python module that tries to import a DLL fails because it 
forgets it should be looking for a 64 bit dll and instead goes looking for a 32 
bit DLL and when it finds out it's 64 it throws a tantrum.

LOL! the issue does not happen if I uninstall the 64 bit python install the 32 
bit python and change the environment variables for the python path to the 32 
bit folders. 

so it's a problem with 64 bit python. good thing I have the 32 bit as a backup.
