load dll from python

Answer 1

You probably need to install the VC++ runtime redistributables. The links to them are here.

Answer 2

I've been able to compile and run Enso by using /LD as a compiler flag. This links dynamically to the MS Visual C++ runtime, and seems to allow you to get away without a manifest.

If you're using SCons, see the diff file here: http://paste2.org/p/69732

Answer 3

update I've downloaded python2.6 and VS C++ express edition 2008 and the problem with the msvcr80.dll is gone ( I assume because Python and VSC++2008xe use msvscr90.dll)

I've compile with /LD and all the changes listed here: http://paste2.org/p/69732

And now the problem follows:

INFO:root:Skipping provider enso.platform.osx.
INFO:root:Skipping provider enso.platform.linux.
INFO:root:Added provider enso.platform.win32.
INFO:root:Obtained interface 'input' from provider 'enso.platform.win32'.

Answer 4

Looking at your update, it looks like you need to install Pycairo since you're missing the _cairo module installed as part of Pycairo. See the Pycairo downloads page for instructions on how to obtain/install binaries for Windows.
