Summary: python20 dll not found

Initial Comment:
after upgrading from 2.0 to 2.1 then to 2.1.1 getting 
error that cant find python20.dll. I completely 
removed all traces of python and did a fresh install 
even modified the registry and removed all instances 
of python and pywin. It is important to note that I 
also removed an re-installed win32all and it failed to 
completely install because this error. Another note 
though python will still run after the error is given 
the win32 extensions fail to load. I am running on 
japaneese version of win2000 but had the same problem 
on the english version(the steps mentioned fixed the 
problem on english version).

Then we need more specific information from you.  I've 
never heard of this and find it difficult to believe that 
anything in the std Python 2.1 distribution requires 
python20.dll.  I just removed all traces of all Pythons 
from my Win2K box, installed a fresh 2.1.1, and ran the std 
test suite to completion without any problems.

Exactly what do you do that triggers a msg about 
python20.dll?  If I can't reproduce it (and so far I 
can't), all we can do is guess.

Do you perhaps have your own customizations in a 
PYTHONSTARTUP file that may be trying to access obsolete 
stuff?

Have you tried running Python with -v to get a trace of 
what it's trying to import?

Sorry to butt in...  Are you perhaps trying to use a third
party extension like PIL or Numeric Python?  Or your own? 
Extensions built for one Python version won't work with
another.

Can you tell us exactly what you did that gave the error
message?  Preferably with the path to the executable that
you are trying to run that gives the exception.

I am in fact not using the wrong version of win32all, the 
problem occurs prior to the install of the extensions. And 
it is correct that the 2.0 dll's are not installed and 
python2.1.1 (or 2.1) is complaining about it. I originaly 
thought the same thing so I removed win32all and 
python2.1.1 unloaded the dll's and re-installed 2.1.1 prior 
to re-installing win32all I got the same errors.

It sounds like you're trying to use Python 2.1.1 with a 
version of win32all built for 2.0.  If so, you can't do 
that -- Python 2.1.x supplies python21.dll, not 
python20.dll.

Go to ActiveState's site and either install ActivePython 
from them (which comes with a matched set of components), 
or get build 140 of win32all.exe from them (which was built 
to work with Python 2.1 -- but won't work with Python 2.0).

Feel free to reopen this bug report if that doesn't solve 
it.
