(You probably can't actually do much with it, but you ought to be able
to load the C extensions; generally speaking extension modules don't

That's great.  So then if you install those .pyd(?) files inside the
selfcontained bzr install, you should be in business.  (There is some
chance the compiler or Python is ABI-incompatible but it's worth a
go.)
