Try importing win32api in the same context. If that fails, check PATH
for pywintypesXY.dll:

where pywintypes*.dll

System error message include inserts such as %1 for when errors and
exceptions are shown by the system itself. All Python has in this case
is the error code, ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT. So when it calls
FormatMessage, it uses the flag FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS, as it
should.

[Kurt Eilander]

Ok, I found scintilla.dll in the directory above scintillacon.py, but it 
came with pywin32, so it *should* be the correct one.

DLL inspector says it's a 64-bit, which is correct for my os.

I copy that dll, and indeed, all binaries in that directory (just to be 
sure) into my program directory and it still does not work!


Yet, the program Pythonwin.exe in that directory works fine and does its 
syntax highlighting with scintilla.dll.


I have no idea what could be wrong.  Oh!  To know what that little %1 means!

I didn't get too far, for when I do:
    from scintilla import scintillacon
I get:
    ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Presumably this means there's a dll it can't find? Unfortunately the 
%1 is not replaced with what it's looking for.  (If there's not a bug 
out on this somewhere, there probably should be.) That's not the 
point though.  Point is: what are we looking for?


Thanks,
