I have a laptop with windows 98 I use to connect to the OBD2 port on my car.
I'm trying to install pyobd. I have a build for Python 2.7 for Windows98 that
works but I'm having trouble with running wxPython. I get the following error.
I'm sure you have your reasons, but of course Windows 98 hasn't been
supported, by Python, Microsoft, or anybody else, for many years. Are
you sure it wouldn't be easier to use a newer laptop or install Linux?
Support for Windows 98 was dropped in Python 2.6.
C:\pyobd>python pyobd.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pyobd.py", line 28, in <module>

import _core_
Import Error: DLL load failed: A device attached to the system is not

So what is going on?
Do these pyd files need to be compiled specifically for win98? If so how do I
do that? Does python compile these dlls or do I need a C compiler?
If you want to compile extension modules, you need to C compiler Python
was compiled with. I expect this is Visual C++ 6.0 for the last Win9x
releases.
Is there an old version of wxPython that will work on windows 98?
