FWIW..

I just tested the 1.9.1 release - python worked with out any issues.

Just so people know, the exact cause of the win32 python issues has been found, and turns out to be an upstream problem with python compiled with certain versions of msvc. The only workaround is to use a version of python compiled with a different version of msvc, and preferably have the server compiled with the same version. (ActiveState's python 2.3 builds happen to be compiled with a version that works)
