I've been trying to install Python on Windows 2000 SP4, and have run into
the traditional "DLL load failed" error. The installer files are:
Size Name
15970304 python-2.7.2.msi
33091012 pygtk-all-in-one-2.22.5.win32-py2.7.msi
872816 WindowsXP-KB975337-x86-ENU.exe
PyGTK was installed with: TARGETDIR=C:\Python27 ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLLEVEL=2
and the updated gdiplus.dll file copied to
C:\\Python2X\\Lib\\site-packages\\gtk-2.0\\runtime\\bin
in accordance with the installation instructions.
The result is that I can import pygtk, cairo and pango without problems.
However, importing gtk fails with the message
"from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found."
I ran "python -v -c "import gtk" >import.log 2>&1 which showed that everything
was going well until:
# C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gobject\propertyhelper.pyc matches
C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gobject\propertyhelper.py
import gobject.propertyhelper # precompiled from
C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gobject\propertyhelper.pyc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk\__init__.py", line

from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
I checked the site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk directories for linux and windows
installations, and found that they matched apart from two subdirectories:

Stephen George's test script simply can't find GTK+ at all, and complains
about ...\gtk-2.0\runtime\bin appearing before the GTK runtime directory,
and that the runtime directory is not on the enviroment path. (The script
doesn't say what the runtime directory should be.) However, all the GTK+
DLLs seem to be present in runtime/bin and runtime/lib
Does anyone have a working installation of PyGTK on Windows 2000?
Is there any way of patching the current setup to get it running?
Thanks for any help - Will
