[Swig-user] Importerror on swig's Python "class" example

[Willis C. <wc...@pd...>]

Hi all,

 

I was trying to run the included "class" example for python in visual studio
2008. When building the pyd, I linked the project back to python27_d.lib
since it complained it couldn't find the file. That is the only change I
made to the settings in the project file included. The build was successful
but when I tried to do "import example" in python (I used python_d.exe
instead since I built the debug version), it gave me "ImportError: No module
named _example". However, I can see _example.pyd being in the same folder. 

 

On the other hand, if I build the example files with the release option in
the visual studio, I can import the library without errors.

 

Can someone explain why the debug version is having problems? Thanks.
