Re: [ctypes-users] How do I setup ctypeslib without Visual C 6, 7, 7.1?

[Watkins, P. <scmpwatk@NMHG.COM>]

Thanks Thomas! I used the version of GCCXML that you posted and it
worked. The version I had been using was 20050318. I got it from:
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/old/codegen.html

I see that it was for an old version.

Now I've run into an error where the DLL folder I pass into xml2py
doesn't work. here's my output:

C:\_HIL>python ctypes\ctypeslib\scripts\xml2py.py -w -l "c:\XL Driver
Library\bi
n" -o out.py out.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):

__init__

    self._handle =3D _dlopen(self._name, mode)
WindowsError: [Errno 126] The specified module could not be found

I'm guessing that the DLL isn't loaded or registered properly, but I'm
not sure how to do that.

BTW, c:\XL Driver Library\bin is in my PATH
