i'm new to python programming..and i'm studying into one of its tutorials..I used pygres for its interface to the postgresql database..the problem is when i tried to run "import _pg" it has an error like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in -toplevel-
import pg
File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pg.py", line 21, in -toplevel-
from _pg import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I am in the same spot you were in. Did you ever get an answer or figure it out?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help Kenneth. I copied all the DLLs in the PostgreSQL\8.2\lib (there wasn't an '_pg.dll') folder to Python\Lib\site-packages (the only 'pg.*' files were pg.pyc & pg.pyo).

I tried to run my code again and got the same message

I'm an old school coder and DBA, but completely new OO and Python, so pardon me if I am being dense...

Also, I opened pg.pyc and saw a note which said it included the _pg module, so I added an 'import pg' stmt into my code. I ran and had the same error with that module.

This is a little frustrating.

try using python 2.5 and the pygresql appropriate for python 2.5. this works for me.

i think _pg.dll is already in the nstaller of pygresql. i have _pg.dll found in my python25/lib/site_packages directory
