Pat Le Cat added the comment: **Missing Python34.dll in installation**
Okay it's getting more interesting. I downloaded Python 3.4 windows x64 binary and extracted the DLLs and suddenly I discovered that release 3.4.1 is missing the Python34.dll !! :-O Once I link against the python34.dll from mingw/gcc then it compiles fine :D (the 77kb from the python3.dll seemed too small anyhow ;) ) Now I have the similar error at runtime as with MSVC-2013: C:\Development\xxx\Testo1\Snakes\Release>Snakes.exe multiply multiply 3 2 Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec ImportError: No module named 'encodings' Now the question remains what "unicode" module python is complaining about?!? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21799> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
