twisted\python\lockfile.py problem on portable Python install

New submission from JamesB <None>:

I'm running Python from a USB key, and as a result Pywin32 has never been formally installed.

Regular Python doesn't seem to have a problem, but Pywin32 fails with
{{{
from win32api import OpenProcess
}}}
Now, why this pertains to Twisted -- I found a workaround [http://groups.google.com/group/movpy/browse_thread/thread/4186e56692014bed?pli=1 here].

{{{
    _windows = True
    from win32api import OpenProcess
    import pywintypes
}}}
becomes
{{{
    _windows = True
    import pywintypes
    from win32api import OpenProcess
}}}

Fixes it. Weird.
