DLL load Error

[Lee]

First, I am very new to Python and haven't coded in a long time.
That being said, I am trying to use both Python and PostgreSQL. I
have installed PostgreSQL 8.2, Python 2.5 and finally PyGreSQL 4.0.
I have verified that the versions match. Installation runs w/o
errors. My problem is is when I execute my program. I get the
follwing message:

from _pg import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be
found.

From my research it seems that I should have _pg.dll in the folder C:
\Program Files\Python25\lib\site-packages\, but it isn't there.

I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled verious versions. Can
you all help?

Does this point to a larger issue or would just providing me the dll
fix it?

Thanks in advance...

Hey Lee.  The interactive interpreter is wonderful, and you can probably use it to find the problem.  At a command prompt, just run python (dot-exe?  something.).  Then,

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path

This should show where Python is looking for modules.  If the locations don't include where pg.py, pg/, or _pg is, then that's the reason it can't find it.

From my research it seems that I should have _pg.dll in the folder  C:
\Program Files\Python25\lib\site-packages\, but it isn't there.

Where is it?  That's the first thing to find out.

You can move pg, or you can append its location before you import.

>>> sys.path.append(r"foo")
>>> import pg

 I hope this helps,
