Thanks for the reply David, but I finally figured out the problem! Python wasn't uninstalling/installing properly so I had to uninstall, delete any sign of it from the registry, and then install again - and now it all works! BTW, I still don't see a listing for PYTHONPATH with the command you listed below... Is that something I should be worried about? I'm just glad the everything if finally working now ;-).
Thanks to everyone for your help!

Hi Tina,
Usually an installation of Python will add its directory to the environment variable %PYTHONPATH%. Open a command window:
<WinKey>+R
cmd /k <enter>
set | find "PATH"
you should see a listing for PYTHONPATH there. Make sure this points to your actual installed location for Python (usually c:\python24). If not, try:
set pythonpath=%PYTHONPATH%;c:\actual_python_location\
Then reboot. Windows can't do anything without a reboot.
py.dll is the dll for the Thomas Grill's external and you need to have its full exact path specified in Pd's Path... options. It fails to load if it can't find Python24.dll, but pointing Pd directly to Python24 doesn't help...
Hope that helps you!
David
this lists your environment variables. Do you see a line On 3/9/06, Tina Shah surreal8@hotmail.com wrote:
Hi, Yea, I have Python installed correctly, I had started the tutorials and was running the interpreter... I added -verbose to the startup flags,
but
still got the same message: tried C:\Program Files\pd\bin\py.dll and failed tried C:\Program Files\pd\extra\py.dll and succeeded C:\Program Files\pd\extra\py.dll: couldn't load py: can't load library
all I have now to load is GEM and py. Should I be pointing to the python24.dll?
