Python MapScript module cannot be found?

[Emil Zegers]

Hello Howard,

I followed your advice but that MapScript version complained about needing
sde90.dll so I used the version from
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/mapserver/build_output/4_4_2/none/pyt
hon.zip

On the Python command line I can now do 'import _mapscript' without errors
but when using it via IIS I keep getting:

  import _mapscript
ImportError: DLL load failed: the specific module could not be found

Maybe I'm still missing something obvious or maybe it related to the fact
I'm using Python MapScript with IIS.

Anyway, thanks so far for the feedback and hints, I really appreciate it
(this goes for Bas too).

Regards,

Emil

Emil,

Find all of the libmap.dll and gdal.dll in c:\python23 and
c:\python23\dlls and delete them.  Ensure that you don't have another
GDAL with ECW support somewhere else on your system.  The Python
Mapscript installer is pretty dumb and doesn't clean up after itself
properly.  Uninstall Python Mapscript using Windows add/remove
programs.

Install 4.4.2 MapScript which is located at
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/mapserver/build_output/4_4_2/debug/py
thon.zip
This MapScript does not have ECW or MrSID support (I am no longer
distributing those due to licensing constraints).

Refer to the message I sent Bas last week for more information.
