Could not find module

After running the following in Jupiter Notebook:

pip install numbalsoda

It is not possible for me to import the package, and I get the following error message:

from numbalsoda import lsoda_sig, lsoda, dop853

FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'C:\Users\[user]\[folder]\Gitlab\numbalsoda\numbalsoda\liblsoda.dll' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

Use conda to install instead. Pip just doesn’t work well for c extensions.

I just ran into the same issue. When using dependencies, you see that libdop853.dll requires flang.dll and other clang related dependencies. If I comment out the loading of dop853 to only use lsoda, then it works fine.

A couple of ideas here:

• you could use gfortran with the options -static -shared (e.g. gfortran -cpp -shared -static -o libdop853.dll libdop853.f90). Running Dependencies on the dll shows 0 external dependencies besides windows libraries. The -static option takes care of statically linking libgcc, libgfortran, libquadmath...
• Implementing some kind of lazy loading of the dll could also be beneficial. Like this you would not face the problem with dop853 when only using lsoda

PS: as a side note, you could add the chache option @cfunc(lsoda_sig, cache=True) in your examples for better perf.
PS2: Good job btw, I could reduce my simulation time from nearly 30 sec to 0.5!
