importing libraries not working 2.6.4

R

Routb3d

I used the x86 Python 2.6.4 installer. I am working in x64 Win7 pro.

I have tried adjusting environment variables as well as putting the
files directly in the search path of Python.. Python still returns
this.. Any ideas?
['C:\\Python26\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\Maya2010\
\Python\\Lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python26.zip',
'C:\\Python26\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python26\\lib', 'C:\\Python26\\lib\\plat-
win', 'C:\\Python26\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python26', 'C:\\Python26\\lib\
\site-packages']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
import cv
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where are you expecting the cv module / package to be? It's certainly not in
the standard library -- at least not in my install of Python 2.6.4...

Thanks for the reply.

I tried putting the files from

C:\OpenCV2.0\Python2.6\Lib

too

C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages

and Python still wont import..

I adjusted the environment variables to try and import maya.standalone but
no dice on that either.

Sorry, you've still not told me where you expect it to be. Could you let us
know what .py files you can see in C:\OpenCV2.0\Python2.6\Lib ?

Thanks for your help Rami.. I got it working.. I did some digging around
and found out that I needed to install opencv as admin.. Now Im trying to
run one of the samples and up against my next chalange.

Argg.. There are so many pit falls!

Thanks again,

Glad to be able to help :)

Especially when you've managed to solve something, could you please remember
to CC the list on your reply, so if people run across the problem in future
they can benefit from your experience?

Thanks,
Rami
Thats the furthest I have seen it get.. Ill have to remember this..

here is what Python returned..
from opencv import cv

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>

from opencv import cv

File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\opencv\__init__.py", line 74, in

_cv = swig_import_helper()

swig_import_helper

_mod = imp.load_module('_cv', fp, pathname, description)

It looks to me like 'opencv' is structured as a package, from which you
should be able to import and work with Python libraries. Have you tried
putting the above site-packages directory in sys.path:

import sys; sys.path.append('C:
\\OpenCV2.0\\Python2.6\\Lib\\site-packages')

and then doing:

from opencv import cv

?

Did I still need to compile this even though it was a win 32 installer?


I don't think so, no -- AFAIK the .pyd files are compiled CPython
extension modules, so it looks like they're all compiled for you.
