Thanks Graham for the hint. I found a pycrypto compiled with MinGW and
it worked. But I have similar issues with other modules so the problem
was still there.
Googling i found this post
http://psycopg.lighthouseapp.com/projects/62710/tickets/20#ticket-20-6
which explains quite clearly and deeply the issue and suggests that
The ways to resolve the situation is to embed a manifest into apache
or embed it into psycopg and the author then gets for the second. I
have tried the first in order to solve the issue for all potential
cases.
I downloaded Microsoft Windows SDK, which includes mt.exe, Microsoft
(R) Manifest Tool. With this i did a:
mt.exe -inputresource:C:\Python26\python.exe;#1 -out:C:
\Python26\extracted.python.exe.manifest
Which exports the embedded manifest used in my current python.exe
(which works ok with all modules).
It looks like:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 standalone=yes?
assembly xmlns=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1
manifestVersion=1.0
trustInfo xmlns=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3
security
requestedPrivileges
requestedExecutionLevel level=asInvoker uiAccess=false/
requestedExecutionLevel
/requestedPrivileges
/security
/trustInfo
dependency
dependentAssembly
assemblyIdentity type=win32 name=Microsoft.VC90.CRT
version=9.0.21022.8 processorArchitecture=x86
publicKeyToken=1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b/assemblyIdentity
/dependentAssembly
/dependency
/assembly
From here i stripped the trustInfo part and left just the dependency
one:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 standalone=yes?
assembly xmlns=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1
manifestVersion=1.0
dependency
dependentAssembly
assemblyIdentity type=win32 name=Microsoft.VC90.CRT
version=9.0.21022.8 processorArchitecture=x86
publicKeyToken=1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b/assemblyIdentity
/dependentAssembly
/dependency
/assembly
Now i copied and renamed the result into httpd.exe.manifest and
executed a:
mt.exe -manifest:C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation
\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe.manifest -outputresource:C:\Program Files
\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe;1
This command embeds a manifest file (the one extracted from
python.exe) into httpd.exe (which has no, otherwise i would have
needed to merge).
After this the problem was resolved!
I will see over next days if this has some noticeable drawback,
otherwise it would be an acceptable solution (at least in my case).
regards and thanks for help, af

Hi,
I have the following in httpd.conf:
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
WSGIScriptAlias /wsgi C:/temp/wsgi_test.py
Directory C:/temp
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
/Directory
Which with a wsgi_test.py like:
def application(environ, start_response):
status = '200 OK'
output = 'Hello World!'
response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'), ('Content-
Length', str(len(output)))]
start_response(status, response_headers)
return [output]
works fine and returns Hello World, so i suppose that the basic things
work ok.
Now, if i add to the wsgi_test.py, a:
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
or
import pywintypes
i get loading errors, with Crypto for example:

if i run running wsgi_test.py from command line it works fine, no
complaints.
I have googled quite a lot and there seem to be different
explanations, the closest one to my problem apparently related to
manifests and being stripped in latest python versions (http://
bugs.python.org/issue4120) and apache not having any, but i am really
confused if i am looking in the right direction.
Any idea how to advance with this?
The only solution is for the third party C extension (Crypto) to be
built with a dependency on the required DLL. I am not a Windows
