On Thursday 11 December 2008 I wrote about the problem that I was having importing win32ui from within a program I wrote. This was happening only on some computers but not all. The win32ui module is used for printing.
I never solved the problem until today. I installed only winXP on a hard drive and started from there. I ran my program and incurred an error message that a some of my clients were getting; importError: Dll load failed: The specified module could not be found. Next, I loaded the installation software that came with an HP OfficeJet. Problem Solved. Apparently HP software is installing a file or files that python does not contain( I had a client load python ), and py2exe is not including in its package. 'load_dynamic' help says this: "(Note: using shared libraries is highly system dependent, and not all systems support it.)" I wonder if they tried installing an HP? jim-on-linux http://inqvista.com > py help, > > I produced a program that runs on windows. > One client is using an HP machine with an Intel cpu > E2200 @ 2.2ghz., and with .99 G ram. > The machine is using Win XP Pro 32 bit OS with > service pack 2 > > I ran Dependency Walker and everything is OK. > > I used py2exe to build the exe file with bundle > files:1 and also 3, with the same traceback results. > > I created a test print module that imports both > win32api and win32ui modules and its only job is to > print a page of text. > > The first module that is imported is win32api. > line 8 of that module adds to the path the module > named 'win32api.pyd'. > The import is is completed without error. > > The next module that is imported is win32ui. > line 8 of that module adds to the path a module > named 'win32ui.pyd'. > The search for the win32ui.pyd module seems to be > the cause of the problem. > Traceback: > ImportError: Dll load failed: The specified module > could not be found. > > Both modules 'win32api.pyd' and win32ui.pyd are in > the same directory. > > Below is a copy of the win32ui.py module.
