4.1.3 generates errors; downgrading to 4.1.2 is fine #835

Closed BrainAnnex closed 4 months ago

The error is: ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _bcrypt: The specified procedure could not be found

This error seems to crop up from time to time, according to the following thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77696374/how-to-fix-importerror-dll-load-failed-while-importing-bcrypt-the-specified/78762744#78762744

Several people say how downgrading bcrypt solved their problem...

Indeed, I had that same error with 4.1.3 ! Downgrading to 4.1.2 made it go away.

I'm using a venv, with python 3.8 , on Windows.

This can be multiple issues. In the linked thread they likely need to upgrade python as 3.9.0 and 3.9.1 had a bug. Later 3.9.x releases should work.

You’ll also see this error if you’re running on Windows 7, which is no longer supported by the compiler we use to generate binary wheels.

Aha, mystery solved, thanks! Yes, indeed I'm still on Windows 7 (hence the python 3.8)... not for much longer - but still.
