Afterwards. Build works fine.

No, the binary module _omnipy.pyd was built against the 3.8 dll. But now as you describe the build process, this rings a 
bell. I have a custom script which copies over all the directories in my own build tree. It copies over the python dir 
from the wrong location, which worked fine all the time with python2 but now breaks. I'll try again. Should I run into 
trouble again I'll report it here :)

Greetings,
   Michael.
