It depends how the spss module itself is implemented, e.g. if it's a Python module it can be imported easily, but if it's a C module you can write a wrapper around it using ctypes.

Subject: Re: [IronPython] Running SPSS application from IronPython

No spss module is not a C-extension , I believe that part of it is implemented using java.
At the begining of my module I add the following lines :

import sys

sys.path.extend([
    r'c:\Python25\Lib',
    r'c:\Python25\Lib\site-packages',
    ])

sys.path.append(r'c:\Python25\Lib')
sys.path.append(r'C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages')

import spss      ----> this line that throws the exception.
I'm running the module from IronPython Studio.

Thanks for your reply I just knew that spss Python plugin has to be built for specific Python implementations.
Unfortunately it does not support IronPython.

Even though they don't support it, it will probably still work. Is this SPSS module a C-extension or does it involve C-extensions? Have you tried what Michael suggested?
