I haven't used the Windows version in a while, so some of this is radical
guesswork on my part ...

The DLL in question is _pg.pyd, which seems to be located in the correct
directory (the same one as pg.py), so I'm not sure what its issue is.
Can you "import _pg" on its own (instead of "import pg").  _pg may require
the DLL for Postgres, whose lib name escapes me (libpq?) - do you have
any Postgres libraries installed and included the library path in
PATH?
