NEW GENERATED DLL ERROR FOUND WITHIN f2PY.py

[Blubaugh, David A.]

Sir, 
 
Let me state that do have extensive experience with developing binary files.  Please note that I have followed all of the instructions to the letter as far as developing a DLL to be imported.  However, it is not working correctly.  I believe it might be my system environment variables??
 
Thanks for your reply,
 
David Blubaugh

Error code 193 is ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT, which means that the thing
you're trying to import is not a proper DLL.

 > copy LICENSE.txt LICENSE.pyd
         1 file(s) copied.

 > python
 >>> import LICENSE
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed with error code 193

In general, the tools for building binary extensions for Python assumes
that you have at least some basic knowledge about how to build binaries
using a compiled language.
