There is an issue with vim's python support on Windows, when one tries to use
python libraries that require the MSVC 9.0 runtime. This has been observer in
vim-ipython[1]. It can be easily reproduced with
:py import uuid
and the error I get is
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library
incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I get this problem both with the "Vim without Cream" package, and with my own
compiled vim (VS 2012, x86, Win 8), using the standard Python 2.7 from
python.org
This appears to be a manifest problem, where it's not enough to have the MSVC
runtime dll in your path, but the library or the program loading it needs to
have an entry in its manifest specifying a dependency on the MSVC 9.0 runtime,
e.g.
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC90.CRT"
version="9.0.21022.8" processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
Given that these libraries work from the python interpreter (as python27.dll
has the correct dependency entry in its manifest), we probably can't expect
every single python library to have to correct manifest dependency entry. So, I
believe it'd be a good idea for the vim.exe/gvim.exe to have such an entry,
potentially ripped out of python27.dll (as per this SO entry[2] or my comment
in the vim-ipython issue tracker[3]).
