From cmd prompt - I get this:
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import urllib
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib.py", line 26, in <module>
import socket
File "C:\Python27\lib\socket.py", line 47, in <module>
import _socket
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found
I also get that if I attempt to import socket.
NOTE this does not happen when I'm in the pythonwin IDE.
So, try the following in both environments:
import sys
for ii in sys.path: print ii
You'll likely find diffferences between the two.
In the pythonwin environment, try:
import socket
print socket.__file__
Chances are the __file__'s directory isn't in the command line's sys.path.
