Hi. I'm trying to install PyLucene using MinGW on Windows 7. It keeps failing when it tries to load the _jcc.pyd module (JCC is the compiler which wraps the Java Lucene library as a Python module). It fails with the notorious
c:\Python27\python.exe: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. So, to figure out what's failing, I fired up depends.exe on _jcc.pyd. And I find that the missing DLL appears to be PYTHON27.DLL! Odd, thinks I. So I went to look in c:/Windows/System32/, and sure enough, there it is: $ file /c/Windows/System32/python27.dll /c/Windows/System32/python27.dll: PE32 executable for MS Windows (DLL) (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit $ Then I try to fire up depends.exe on it, and depends.exe *can't see it*! That is, when I choose "File > Open" from the menu, and select C:\Windows\System32\, the list of dlls that I can inspect goes right from "pwrshplugin.dll" to "QAGENT.dll"! And if I open a cmd shell, "dir" doesn't show it, either! Though msys "ls" does. Does anyone understand what's going on here? I'm baffled. I'm using the 32-bit version of Python 2.7, by the way, and it's a 64-bit install of Windows 7 Enterprise.
