windll should be imported from ctypes, but this module is only available on Windows. Were you running this on Linux or OS X? Were you intending to use SMI on them?

hi, i currently have the same issue. I'm trying to run the file off a rasberry Pi (linux).

I encounter this error aswell does it mean it only work ins windows?

esdalmaijer commented 5 years ago

As said before, the error relates to the SMI implementation, which is Windows-only.

If you're trying to use an SMI tracker on a different operating system, please refer to SMI, as I don't think they support anything else.

If you're not trying to use an SMI tracker, then you should be setting a different TRACKERTYPE in your constants.py file.
