serial I/O install fail -- DLL not found
Just starting with Python. Installed: Python 2.7 pywin32-214.win32-py2.7.exe pyserial-2.5.win32.exe on a Home WinXP SP3 Toshiba laptop with 2GB memory. Open Python and try to do simple I/O test and can't even get past first line. Transcript below. You will see that __name__ is defined as '__main__ but path is not defined. Could this be due to creating the folder holding the Python.exe being on the E: drive or for some other obscure reason?

Where I work we run Python with pywin32 across the company from a network drive and don't have any problems like this one. **transcript* Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win 32 Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. from uspp import * Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module File E:\Python27\lib\uspp.py, line 189, in module from SerialPort_win import * File E:\Python27\lib\SerialPort_win.py, line 54, in module from win32file import * File E:\Python27\lib\win32file.py, line 12, in module __load() File E:\Python27\lib\win32file.py, line 10, in __load mod = imp.load_dynamic(__name__, path) ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. The paths in this traceback are weird. If E:\Python27 is where Python is installed, E:\Python27\lib should be where the files in the Python standard library reside. Installed third-party modules such as the ones above should be located in E:\Python27\lib\site-packages. It would appear that some zip files were incorrectly extracted into this folder. Anyway, your problem appears to be the win32file.py in E: \Python27\lib. This is a wrapper file that the isapi package includes when creating an executable with py2exe. It doesn't make any sense for it to be found in this location, and all it's succeeding in doing is obscuring the real win32file import, which should be a dll at E: \Python27\lib\site-packages\win32\win32file.pyd. I suggest reinstalling, putting things into their proper directories this time, and skipping whatever you unzipped that got you that win32file.py file.

Thank you, Ian. You put your finger on the problem. As I thrashed around earlier, I had installed serial i/o pieces before the clean install pieces of pywin32-214.win32-py2.7.exe pyserial-2.5.win32.exe I did a complete de-install and re-install. Now the serial i/o is functioning -- I'm still stumbling along with the typical mistakes of a 'newbie'. Thanks again. Chas. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
