importing PYD files

Oct 30th, 2008
You'll have to excuse me, I'm a complete python newbie, but am trying to import a pyd file that I've been sent by a friend. He assures me the file works fine on his computer but when I run
Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  import myfile.pyd
, after having placed the pyd file in the c:\Python\DLLs folder and added the directory to the environment variable, I get the following error

"ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found."

I've tried other PYD files from the same directory and they work, so I don't think it's a problem with the directory. Would it matter if my friend compiled this on a different version of Python?

Thanks

Can you try just import myfile , without the .pyd?
1. Use Code Tags.
2. Homework? Show Effort.
3. Keep discussions on the forum: no PMs

try this before the import

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. import sys
  2. sys.path.append("c:\Python\DLLs")
I wish I had something cool to put here...

It could be an issue with the python versions, but that isn't usually the error you get when that is the case.
