[Tutor] ImportError: DLL load failed

[Ajay]

hi!

I wrote a simple C code to work with OpenSSL and it builds fine.
however when i import it, i get an error
ImportError: DLL load failed. The specified module could not be found.

the file is in Python/Lib directory.

the code is below.

thanks

#include <Python.h>
#include "openssl/bio.h"
#include "openssl/ssl.h"
#include "openssl/err.h"

static PyObject * start(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
        int x;
        BIO * bio;
        char buf[1024];
        int len = 512;
        SSL_load_error_strings();
        ERR_load_BIO_strings();
        OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms();
        bio = BIO_new_connect("www.ibm.com:80");
        if(bio==NULL)
        {
                //handle error
                x = -5;
        }
        if(BIO_do_connect(bio) <= 0)
        {
                //handle failed connection
                x = -4;
        }
        x = BIO_read(bio, buf, len);
        if(x == 0)
        {
                //handle closed connection
                x = -3;
        }
        else if(x<0)
        {
                if(! BIO_should_retry(bio))
                {
                        //handle failed read
                        x = -2;
                }
                //do something to handle the retry
        }
        return Py_BuildValue("i", x);
}

static PyMethodDef testSSLMethods[] = {
        {"start", start, METH_VARARGS, "start and test SSL."},
        {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}
};

PyMODINIT_FUNC
inittestSSL(void)
{
        (void) Py_InitModule("testSSL", testSSLMethods);
}

please help.

thanks
cheers
