I have created an extension boost python module for C++ class, successfully using Visual Studio 2009, and get a shared library(.dll) as output.
However I am having trouble importing this module in my python code. I have explicitly tried importing the dll as resource in an Eclipse PyDev project, and also set in windows PATH environment variable, the location for this dll. With the PATH set, I also tried import from the python shell, but no success.
Can someone describe what is the process to import boost_python_modules in python on windows.
Change your shared library's filename extension from .dll to .pyd. As of Python 2.5, the Python interpreter stopped accepting .dll as a valid extension module filename: 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."
