ImportError: from cocotb import simulator

Just pulled the latest from master and build is broken on windows mingw 32-bit. All is working fine using version b08bf0ce74144886c17e6f824438890d08503a71 Could be related to this change: https://github.com/cocotb/cocotb/commit/3a0bf9460515ae0c2269890b75ddbeaa80085cff

Here’s a log when running the adder example:

    from cocotb import simulator
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing simulator: The specified module could not be found.

Any suggestions?

For the records here is a trace. It fails to load any dependencies in the libs folder

Perhaps the thing to do for the imminent 1.4 release is to just set PATH on all python versions, and come back to this later.
