I keep getting 'Pybind11: "ImportError: DLL not found" ' - what does this mean?

Asked 2 years ago

I'm building a relatively large Python project that has multiple libraries, and I keep getting the message: "ImportError: DLL not found". Is it a directory-related problem? Thanks

Python Errors Importerror

The problem arises because Windows searches for all of the DLLs in th same directory. So, if you've got DLLs that are outside of the system /users directory, Python won't recognize them. A simple fix would be adding the following line of code: "os.add_dll_directory(...)" and then importing your .pyd module.
