Ok, I checked again.
One fault of mine was that I happened to have another pypy-c.exe
executable around. So actually, I now also crash with the import
errors.

Python 2.4.1 (pypy 1.0.0 build 41438) on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Error calling sys.excepthook:
debug: OperationError:
debug:  operror-type: ImportError
debug:  operror-value: No module named traceback

Then I tested what you said from the command line:

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\tismer.MACGYVERXP>pypy-c.exe -c "import 
sys; print sys.executable"
debug: WARNING: library path not found, using compiled-in sys.path
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\tismer.MACGYVERXP\pypy-c.exe

This is in fact nonsense, the executable came from the temp
directory mentioned before, all other pypy-c's were removed.

So something is wrong, and I'm looking into this.
