Hi, I'm trying to install OpenSSL by placing it in site-packages\OpenSSL. In the directory there the following files,
crypto.pyd libeay32.dll rand.pyd SSL.pyd ssleay32.dll When i try to import the module by doing "import OpenSSL" i get an import error saying "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found". It turns out that there is another module (call it XXX) that is install which contains different versions of libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll. And the path to the XXX appears earlier in os.environ['PATH'] than the OpenSSL dir. So this cause it to pick up the wrong dll which in turn causes the import error. If i renamed the dlls in XXX's dir then the import will work fine. So my question is, shouldn't the import be picking up the dlls in the module directory first before following the PATH in it's search order? Seem that is doesn't make sense because if i put OpenSSL earlier in the path, it would work for OpenSSL, but then XXX will be picking up the wrong dll. Any help is much appreciated!
