That clarification seems okay to me. The error message is in load_library in Modules/_ctypes/callproc.c. The underlying problem is that the directory of the DLL is only added to the search path (in CDLL.__init__ in Lib/ctypes/__init__.py) if the caller uses a qualified path. This is an OS limit that we can't avoid. Also note that the suggestion to use a qualified path won't necessarily resolve the problem, in which case scripts will have to use os.add_dll_directory, and find a reliable way to identify the required directories. ---------- components: +Extension Modules keywords: +easy (C) nosy: +eryksun stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39393> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
