Python extension for Windows failing on import

[Chang Glasgow]

Hi folks,

I'm attempting to build a Python extension and seem to be running
repeatedly into a wall.

The module compiles and links successfully, but attempting to import from
a Python script kicks out the following error:

  ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I'm using Boost 1.4 and Rapidmind 4.0.  I've attempted building from the
sample project provided by python.org, and from the quickstart sample
provided by boost, always to the same result.

Thanks,


Chang

Have you ensured that all paths are set up properly? (Can Python find your module?) Also, does your module have the right extension?

The module is built as _somemodule.pyd, located in the same directory as
the test script which attempts to import with the following line:

from _somemodule import *

This works in the case of the trivial examples, at least.

It also occurs to me that I should mention that I'm using Python 2.6.4.
