if someone wants to investigate, is seeing this problem, and have the win32
extensions on their machine, try changing this line in subprocess.py:

    if 0: # <-- change this to use pywin32 instead of the _subprocess driver

to:

    if 1: # <-- change this to use _subprocess instead of the pywin32 driver

and see if it either fixes the problem (not very likely) or gives you a better
error message (very likely).
