+6. Dynamic loading					*python-dynamic*
+
+On MS-Windows the Python library can be loaded dynamically.  The |:version|
+output then includes |+python/dyn|.
+
+This means that Vim will search for the Python DLL file only when needed.
+When you don't use the Python interface you don't need it, thus you can use
+Vim without this DLL file.
+
+To use the Python interface the Python DLL must be in your search path.  In a
+console window type "path" to see what directories are used.
+
+The name of the DLL must match the Python version Vim was compiled with.
+Currently the name is "python24.dll".  That is for Python 2.4.  To know for
+sure edit "gvim.exe" and search for "python\d*.dll\c".
