pyrfa DLL load fails

Question

I am trying to use the pyrfa module developed by devcartel.

I have installed the package with the usual method:

pip install pyrfa

However, running a script that uses the module gives:

ImportError: DLL load failed : The specific module cannot be found.

The pyrfa module is a wrapper around C++ code based DLLs developed by Reuters. Where do I find the necessary DLLs?

Answer 1

According to [GitHub]: devcartel/pyrfa - Installation (emphasis is mine):

Windows users might need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) or (x86).

Install the required dependencies for your Python architecture (I assume it's x64 (AMD64)), or better: install both of them as it won't hurt (unless you have a 32bit Win), and you should be fine.
