Pyside2, DLL load failed in samplebinding example

Question

Trying to get the samplebinding example working, but no matter the compiler, python or pyside version used, I still get

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing Universe: The specified module could not be found.

Last configuration used:

• VS2019
• cmake 3.16.2
• python 3.81 amd64 from python.org
• pyside2, shiboken2 5.14.1 from pip
• shiboken-generator whl 5.14.1 from here

Library is compiling fine:

Answer 1

Modify the import to be Python3 compatible:

from build.Universe import Icecream, Truck

The import of __future__.print_function suggests the file is still written for Python2.

Answer 2

Python 3.8 changed the dll path resolution.

Adding the shiboken2.abi3.dll to the folder resolved the issue.
