Accessing python httplib2 over a network share in windows 7

Question

I am trying to run python from a network share on windows 7. The network share is T:

>t:\python-2.6.1\python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec  4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import httplib2
httplib2\__init__.py:29: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
import md5
Traceback (most recent call last):

_inst = Random()

self.seed(x)
File "T:\python-2.6.1\lib\random.py", line 110, in seed
a = long(_hexlify(_urandom(16)), 16)
WindowsError: [Error 127] The specified procedure could not be found

When I copy python-2.6.1 to my local drive it works fine. It also works fine on my windows XP machine using the same network share.
