OK, I think I got is now. The difference is between debug and release builds. Explanation: - in release build, "import nul" calls stat("nul.pyd") which succeeds. It then tries LoadLibrary("nul.pyd"), which fails with a DLL error. - in debug builds, "import nul" first tries stat("nul_d.pyd") which fails. It then tries stat("nul.py"), which succeeds to return an empty file! Whaaaa.
