CTypes

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I'm trying to install PyWinAuto for Python 2.4. It said that one of
the required libraries that I need to install would be CTypes. So I
head over to CTypes's SourceForge page and I installed CTypes for
Python 2.4. I go to run the PyWinAuto installation file and it throws
up this error:

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\pywinauto-0.3.6>C:\Python24\Python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 29, in ?

in __init__

    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
WindowsError: [Errno 1157] One of the library files needed to run this

on cannot be found

I have found out that anything that calls CTypes is producing this
error. I looked into the CTypes source and I found:

    def __init__(self, name, mode=DEFAULT_MODE, handle=None):
        self._name = name
        if handle is None:
            self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) <errored line
        else:
            self._handle = handle

So my best guess is that I'm either missing a Python library or I'm
missing a DLL. Too bad I don't know which, does anyone know what I'm
missing?
