Hi folks,
I'm trying to install PythonOCC, and I'm having a little difficulty. I'm
excited about the potential application of using PyOCC to generate a
found geometry for a crown gear, by doing a method of successive solid
subtractions of a generating gear.
I've seen this issue discussed on the mailing list before, but with no
resolution.
Upon trying to run any of the examples, I get the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "animation.py", line 20, in <module>
from OCC.BRepPrimAPI import *
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\OCC\BRepPrimAPI.py", line 28, in
<module>
_BRepPrimAPI = swig_import_helper()
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\OCC\BRepPrimAPI.py", line 24, in
swig_impo
rt_helper
_mod = imp.load_module('_BRepPrimAPI', fp, pathname, description)
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I'm running Windows 7 (64bit), but I am running a 32 bit installation of
Python, specifically the Enthought Python Distribution
(http://www.enthought.com/ , free academic bundle), which uses Python 2.7.
I installed from the file pythonOCC-0.5-all-in-one.win32.py26.exe .
I noticed one major problem: the python installation directory is not
correctly identified, and most of the PyOCC files are installed to
C:\Lib\site-packages\OCC\ . I moved these to what I think is the correct
location, C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\OCC , but the above error persists.
I've also tried defining an environment variable PYTHONPATH =
"C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\OCC" , and also adding this to the system
PATH variable, but this also does not solve the error.
Is there any way to solve or work around this error? Will a full
recompilation from source be necessary? This is a pretty daunting task
for someone of my skillset, I was hoping I could just install it.
Is PythonOCC fundamentally incompatible with Python 2.7 or Windows 7 in
any manner?
Thanks,
Andrew
