I run the same scripts and use the same libs in both plain Python and 
embedded Python,
so I really don't want different installs of Python (besides it's quit 
big > 100 MB)

I did some more tests, and don't know if this the minimum set,
but at least this seems to be sufficient,
both for embedded Python (without a separate Python) and plain Python,

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\PATH = 
%PATH%
p:\python\lib\site-packages\graphviz-2.8-win32.egg\bin;
p:\python\lib\site-packages\swig-1.3.24-win32.egg;
p:\python\lib\site-packages\vtk-5.0.1-win32.egg\vtk;
P:\Python;
P:\Python\Scripts;
P:\Python\Tools\Scripts;
P:\Python;p:\python\lib\site-packages\mingw-3.4.5-win32.egg\bin;
p:\python\lib\site-packages\scite-1.73-win32.egg;

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\Environment\PYTHONPATH =
<identical to PATH>

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\Environment\PYTHONHOME =
P:\Python

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\Environment\PATHEXT = %PATHEXT%
py;pyc

Reboot the system (seems to be essential)

Everything works as expected

thank you all for your suggestions.

cheers,
