This is supposed to be in Python 2.3 and newer, so that's quite confusing. I was able to import 'platform' when running python manually on the machine.

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

Armen's going to take a look at the slave side of this.

I have redeployed the python win32 dlls and moved the original ones to:
C:\mozilla-build\python25\Scripts\bug577437 

The problem would have make sense if the dlls had been corrupted or not present. The checksums are the same for both.
> 57e1d877a4590ab0cfd08f045196136d  pythoncom25.dll
> 512d382120cee043f588adb419e74a9a  pywintypes25.dll

If this happens again let's reopen but for now I want to say that it WORKSFORME.

For reference this was hit because Automation had to be aborted:
