Python install validation (v.9.2)

CaraSchiek

Hello.

I have followed the steps in installing the latest python package. It appears to have installed correctly (e.g. no errors during installation). When I run the validation, I receive this error:

>>>importgeosoft.gxpy.gx as gx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "C:geosoft\_init__.py", line 16, in
import geosoft.gxapi.gx as gxapi
InportError: DLL load failed: The specific module could not be found.

Any suggestions for solving this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Cara,

Tough one to reproduce, sorry. I suspect Python has a DLL conflict with a visual studio DLL, or some other DLL that is being loaded incorrectly. I am investigating with a developer here.

Some things to investigate though in case I can't get back to you with something more definitive:

1. What version of Python? It must be 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6.
   
2. Are you using Anaconda Python, or something else? If something else, try Anaconda Python.
   
3. Are you importing anything before the geosoft import? If so, it is possible one of the other imports has already loaded an incompatible dll.
   
4. Verify that you have Geosoft Desktop 9.2 installed?
   

If you are able to solve this, please let us know so we can share the learning.

Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian,

Please see below,

1. What version of Python? It must be 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6.
>>3.6.1

2. Are you using Anaconda Python, or something else? If something else, try Anaconda Python.
>>Anaconda Python

3. Are you importing anything before the geosoft import? If so, it is possible one of the other imports has already loaded an incompatible dll.
>> I am not importing anything prior. I ran the verification as directed https://geosoftgxdev.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GXDEV92/Installing+GX+Developer

4. Verify that you have Geosoft Desktop 9.2 installed?
>>Yes

Thanks,
Cara

Hi Cara,

The stack trace in your original post appears strange. Can you please run the following and post the output back (my output included as an example of a successful run):
