When I started Kicad under Windows I got the following error message in dbgview: "Python could not load the default activation context". This message is issued by the Python runtime environment when checking the return value of the Windows API function AddRefActCtx() if the return value is zero (see https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/a3488e5902f5c26e5cc289aec2518e7b5058e5d1/PC/dl_nt.c#L107). According to https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/desktop/api/winbase/nf-winbase-AddRefActCtx, this function does not return a value, which makes the check result dependent on temporary internal register/stack values and does not indicate a real problem. This check should be completely removed so as not to waste the precious time of developers and users searching for the reason for this misleading message. The corresponding definitions https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/PC/dl_nt.c#L36 (and line 37) should also be adjusted. The issue is also present in version 2.7. |

This doesn't apply since Python 3.5, as the HAVE_SXS preprocessor variable is not defined. We should just delete this code entirely in 3.9, and patch the message in 2.7. |

Merged the 2.7 fix. Let's just delete the whole block in master. |

Fixed in 2.7 - using issue39553 for removing the code in master. |
