This is failing on buildfarm member drongo:
<https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=drongo&br=master>.
AFAICT, this is the only buildfarm member that tests Python on
Windows, so we have no additional results to compare with. It did pass
on Cirrus CI. Andrew/Bryan, could you figure out how the Python
installation on drongo is different?
