Import DiscID on Windows

Has anyone gotten DiscID (and CDDB) to work on Windows? I installed
python2.4 and CDDB-1.4 on Win98SE. When I import DiscID I get

DLL load failed: One of the library files needed to run this application
cannot be found.

Python is complaining about mci.dll. It is surely finding it because it
is in the search path, so I presume that there is something wrong with
the dll. Any suggestions? Can Python import a file with a dll
extension?

Hi. I'm a new user of Python but I have noted a little problem. Python is a very good language but it is evolving, in particular its library is evolving. This can be a problem when, ad example, a module change its interface or its implementation in a fundamental way (an example: wxPython). This, I think, can be resolved by allowing an user to explicitly say what version of a module it wants (sush as version numbers in Linux shared...

Hi, I've been trying to embed (statically) wxPy alongside an embedded py interpreter on a linux/gtk box. At one point, for some reason misc.o linking reported "multiple definitions of wxGetFreeMemory()". Since wxGetFreeMemory() seemed effectively unused in gtk, I just commented it out in misc_wrap.cpp (didn't want to patch SWIG to regenerate the wrapper code, so hacked the generated cpp source), and replaced...

Hi there, i'm building an windows application to manage my disc collection. I also want to enable it with cd recognition features on audio CDs. In order to do this I must submit the CD info (discID, ...) to freedb.org. The problem is that I don't know how to retrieve the Table Of Contents (toc) from the disc. The information provided by freedb tells how to calculate the DiscID, based on the toc, but it doesn't explain how to get the...

I get python crashes and (in better cases) strange Python exceptions when (in most cases) importing and using cookielib lazy on demand in a thread. It is mainly with cookielib, but remember the problem also with other imports (e.g. urllib2 etc.). And again very often in all these cases where I get weired Python exceptions, the problem is around re-functions - usually during re.compile calls during import (see some of the exceptions below). But...

hello, The import statement "import sqlite3" gives the error given below. In simple programs, the import statement (sometimes) succeed, and I can indeed access the database. So I guess there is some conflict with another part of my program, but as the program is rather large (and dynamic) it's not easy to isolate the problem. Does anyone has a clue how to trace this kind of problem ?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
