pywin32, up until recently, just listed 3 directories in its .pth file - these were for directories which pre-dated packages and were never converted. Eg, "import win32api" actually loads win32api.pyd from the "site-packages/win32" directory. Earlier this year, via https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/1151, I also added the line: import os;os.environ["PATH"]+=(';'+os.path.join(sitedir,"pywin32_system32")) which is to support pywin32 being installed from wheels - this is due to pywin32 shipping with various shared DLLs which implement many pywin32 types - eg, pywintypesXX.dll is used by (almost) every single .pyd shipped with pywin32, and disutils doesn't offer any way of copying files as part of a post-install script or any other way of ensuring these .dll files are on the PATH or otherwise next to pythonXX.dll/.exe I'm happy to replace both of these with alternatives when they exist. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
