[Tutor] ctypes question

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

Hi,

I want to use a dll to read Spss data files. But when I use 
lib = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibary("d:/temp/spssio32.dll")
I get a WindowsError (cannot find module), even though the path exists. Why is 
that? Do I need to extend some environment variable (add another dir)? I am 
using Python 2.5 on Windows 2000, but I also unsuccessfully tried it using 
Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 10 (however, I don't want to write the program on a linux 
system because I'll be using it on windows only). I also got the same error when 
I tried some other dll's.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
