Hello. I compiled a python module with msvc for python2.6 under windows xp. Under linux everything's ok, but under windows xp, I don't know what happens, I get an ImportError: DLL Load failed.

I set sys.path to the directory containing the module, but no luck until now. Is it a problem with boost.python. I don't know what to think. Thanks for your help.

Does your module's name end with .dll or with .pyd? From "What's New in Python 2.5": http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.4/whatsnew/ports.html#SECTION00015100000000000... "Windows: .dll is no longer supported as a filename extension for extension modules. .pyd is now the only filename extension that will be searched for."
