Ok, I did some debugging and I have some new facts:

Python 2.5 does not search for DLLs when searching for modules
anymore, there is a bug report on that on their old bts:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2006-April/033140.html

I used the workaround suggested on that post to try and load the
gfx.dll you pointed to me:

>>> gfx = imp.load_dynamic('gfx', os.getcwd() + '\\gfx.dll')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initgfx)

Then I looked around the gfx.c source and I am sure that there IS a
declared initgfx, I digged a little more to get the exported function
list from the gfx.dll that is attached to this message, there is
really no function called initgfx (at least I cant see it).

I hope this helps.
