Oh, you might want to delete the file python311._pth inside the Python
folder, I just understood that it prevents loading custom modules if the
paths to those are not listed in it. Or you can put the paths to LyX'
modules manually in there, but I don't know which ones those are exactly,
so I think I'll just delete the file altogether in the future Windows
installers.
