Python binding DLL load failed on Win10/64 - mapnik 2.2.0 #67

Closed stefanborchardt closed 8 years ago

stefanborchardt commented 8 years ago

I have trouble getting the Python binding to work on Win10/64. I unzipped the download and set the paths. Mapnik-config works, I have set the PYTHONPATH and still I get File "C:\mapnik-v2.2.0\python\2.7\site-packages\mapnikinit.py", line 69, in from _mapnik import * ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. in both Spyder and command window.

Looks like you are using Python 64bit. The mapnik 2.2.0 package is 32bit.

Try with Python 2.7 32bit and let me know if it works.

Thank you for making sense of the error message. You are right, my Python is 64bit. I apologize for not trying a parallel install of Python/32, but waiting for the Mapnik 3 binaries.

@stefanborchardt great, thanks for getting back.

If you are feeling adventurous you might want to check out the latest mapnik@3.x 64bit SDK: https://mapnik.s3.amazonaws.com/dist/dev/mapnik-win-sdk-v3.0.10-x64-14.0.7z

Be warned that the Python bindings are lagging behind a bit and are not yet thoroughly tested and might even produce some strange results or not work as expected.
