Hi Ryan,

It is not the dll's that your are missing, but the actual QGIS python stuff.

In your PYTHONPATH you have to point to the in my install avaialbe dir:

<YOURINSTALLATION>/share/qgis/python/

THERE you find the python dirs/modules:

console  plugins  pyplugin_installer  qgis  qsci_apis

It should be revealed to you also when you do the following in your
python console:

import sys; print(sys.path)

Hope this helps,

Regards,
