Igor Skochinsky added the comment: Just had this issue when using networkx (which imports uuid). One keyword that would help visibility is R6034 (the runtime error number). A couple of reports related to this:
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=27666 http://forums.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=15425 The proper solution is to fix ctypes, but in the meantime we can at least fix uuid. The error seems to be triggered by this snippet: # The uuid_generate_* routines are provided by libuuid on at least # Linux and FreeBSD, and provided by libc on Mac OS X. for libname in ['uuid', 'c']: try: lib = ctypes.CDLL(ctypes.util.find_library(libname)) except: continue if hasattr(lib, 'uuid_generate_random'): _uuid_generate_random = lib.uuid_generate_random if hasattr(lib, 'uuid_generate_time'): _uuid_generate_time = lib.uuid_generate_time Since this code is useless on Windows, protecting it in "if os.name not in ['nt', 'ce']" does the trick. BTW, instead of going all way with activation context etc., a simpler solution would be to add to ctypes something like this in CDLL.__init__: if os.name in ['nt', 'ce'] and name == util.find_msvcrt(): # TODO: handle the extension self._handle = windll.kernel32.GetModuleHandleA(self._name) i.e. use the already present runtime DLL instead of trying to load it again. ---------- nosy: +Igor.Skochinsky _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17213> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
