This is according to Bart on StackOverflow. I have tested it on Vim 8.0.118 and Python 2.7.11.

The error I was getting was:

Sorry, this command is disabled, the Python's site module could not be loaded.

If I wanted to check for python, with :echo has('python'), the answer was always 1. Still, trying to do :py print(1) would fail.

This is how you solve it:

cd HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Python\PythonCore
mv 2.7 2.7-32

This is the bug reference on python.org.
