Perforce Python API cant import P4API.pyd

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Download and install the 2.7 API from the website
Check it works by running in the python.exe shell.  import P4
Then boot Max and try via the Py3dsMax implementation.
The system reports the error : ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified 
module could not be found.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Successful import of Perforce P4 module

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Max 2014 Python 2.7.5 and Py3dsMax plugin

Please provide any additional information below.
Same issue with Python 2.7.4 as well, moved up to .5 to see if this would fix 
it.  Also import uuid reports a error dialog but works fine.

I get a similar error when running Django site using Apache.
In my views.py file I have the following...

from P4 import P4,P4Exception

When I attempt to load the page, there is an error generated (see below).

However, when I run from command prompt I can import with no errors.
