    Hello

    Sorry if this a newb question.
    I looked on a tutorial on how to make the hamlib commands work from within my python program (python v3.8)
    but I'm not finding anything that helped me.
    I installed the hamlib 4.1 on my windows machine and the commands work from the command prompt.
    I am able to control my rotator from the command prompt but how do I do this with python? Is this possible? I found a module called hamlib.py and when I try to import that it says:

      File "C:\Users\JumpStart\anaconda3\lib\Hamlib.py", line 5, in <module>
    import _Hamlib
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_Hamlib'

    I don't have a module called _Hamlib anywhere on my system.

    Thank you for any help it would be so appreciated.

      In the bindings directory you'll find py3test.py which should get you started.

        I try to do that but the file throws an error.

          Python bindings for Windows has been a headache.
          It's on my todo list to see if we can't provide them in the downloads but haven't done it yet.
          Did you build hamlib yourself?
          If you did can you try with this configure switch.
          --with-python-binding
