I find i'm having this problem, but the solution you found isn't quite specific enough for me to be able to follow it.
I'm embedding Python27 in my app. I have users install ActivePython27 in order to take advantage of python in my app, so the python installation can't be touched as it's on a user's machine. When I attempt to do: >import win32api i get this: >Traceback (most recent call last): > File "startup.py", line 5, in <module> >ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. I someone suggested i manually load the dependent libraries in the correct order, like this: >import pywintypes >import pythoncom >import win32api but then i get this: >Traceback (most recent call last): > File "startup.py", line 3, in <module> > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py", line 124, in > <module> > __import_pywin32_system_module__("pywintypes", globals()) > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py", line 64, in > __import_pywin32_system_module__ > import _win32sysloader ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. the ultimate goal here is actually to do this: >from win32com.client.gencache import EnsureDispatch which currently yields: >Traceback (most recent call last): > File "startup.py", line 3, in <module> > File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\__init__.py", line 5, in > <module> > import win32api, sys, os >ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. So, if anyone has any idea, that would be super duper great. thanks so much! notes: my paths are definitely set correctly -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
