python27.dll could not be loaded #7

Closed gellowmellow closed 8 years ago

gellowmellow commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I tried using this library. But when I try executing the script OTMql4PyTest.mq4 or running the EA OTPyTestNullEA.mq4, I get the error: python27.dll could not be loaded.

It's coming from the py27.dll but I can pinpoint further what's causing it. I can make sure that I have the python27.dll on my system32 folder but seems I cannot find these dlls pythoncom27.dll, pythoncomloader27.dll, pywintypes.dll.

Thanks!

Thanks - If you get a traceback message, could you cut and paste it into a comment on this Issue. We thought the code was written in a way that did not require pywin32, but it in your setup it does.

The problem is that you don't have pywin32 inatalled into your Python: install it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ It's good software to have on Windows anyway.

We'll update the documentation to say it's a prerequisite. Paste in a traceback with information on your OS, platform and version of Python, and then let us know if installing pywin32 solved it for you.

We've update the documentationto say pywin32 is a pre-requisite. If you still have the problem with pywin32 installed, please reopen a new issue, and give a traceback of the error as well as details on your versions of Python and Windows.
